Lies. More lies. There is no such thing as permanent committals, you would’ve had to have committed a major crime such as murder due to a mental illness

COT is reviewed yearly, and inpatient is the most expensive option. So even if you were forced into inpatient for 1 year (the longest and most rare), that would be up for review in a year. And you are always allowed to get an attorney and appeal it whenever u want

What antipsychotic were you prescribed? I’m curious

You sound like you work in corporate. Earlier in the thread when you where defending brain chemicals I realized you didn't really understand these drugs and IF you had some kind of medical practice you where a monkey in the machine defending your procedures and continued education modules and then you got into stats with Cecily and then I realized your not being 100% truthful.

I've been hospitalized a few times in my life. Some where quite long. And no they don't just lock people away without criminal cause. However, I was in the awkward position of not having a safe home. So they had to find me a facility that could handle my unique case. I don't want to go into detail, however long-term/ permanent was on the table. They weren't sending me home till my home was safe and that wasn't a given. So, no, please don't call me a liar...

Maybe they do kick some people just out onto the street. My history and military background changes things tho. I'm not a typical case of some homeless schizo.

Hope that helps.
