I was recently involuntarily held in a mental hospital where I went through prison like conditions (strip search, had to wear scrubs, was locked in a room outside certain times a day, stuff like that) and thankfully came out in one piece after 8 days of this crap. I was just wondering why we subject people to these conditions when they haven’t even committed a crime?

      You may not be a nutcase, but you’re definitely lacking understanding for others. How is anyone supposed to know you’re not a nutcase? Only you are able to know that. It’s simply impossible for anyone else except if they knew you for many years.

              Only when you’re in the process of being admitted to a mental hospital.

                  They have, but the exact same reason applies. How does anyone know someone is wrongly committed, except for the person themselves? It’s hard and not possible without a decent time investment. Before that time is invested though, safety procedures have to be followed.

      And how do people know that? How do they know you’re not pretending to not be a nutcase?

      Do you understand that people can pretend to be kind, normal, etc as a way to sneak things in?

      I’m sorry you had to go through these things, but you seem to lack some serious awareness of others.
