I can sue as it’s effected my whole life as I’ve lived on disability from Centrelink which was not enough tiveon couldn’t get a job after I was diagnosed!!!!


And made me get fat because of the meds I didn’t want sooo they injected me instead

Depends on where you live, where I live a doctor can commit you for evaluation but the police can't force you to go see that doctor unless you have committed a crime but they often do it anyway knowing nobody will listen to your protests cause you are "crazy" in their minds. How long did they keep you ?

@Subsumedpat they kept me for a month, but I have been in n out for ten years sometimes I took myself sometimes my family would take me but the first time I didn’t want to go, until the police showed up

@Anonymouslyyours86 OH, well you are stuck with it then I think, I am sure they documented all the things they made you go through in such a way that it was called for.
