I hope the man in hospital makes a decent recovery.
I can see both arguments here, I have been detained under the mental health act on a few occasions, you have to be evaluated before you can be released.
I have "adjustment in my ability from the frontal part of my brain", mainly due to it not being there, it's missing!!, the front part not the lot., then enlarged and irregular left ventricle.
Diagnosed with organic personality disorder, and psychotic tendencies.
I was on medication, it made me worse, as it makes you like a zombie, and just pisses you off being knackered all the time, I'm now on no medication and doing fine.
I think there certainly needs to be a overhaul of the system, unfortunately succesive governments closed psych wards etc, so a lot end up in prison which makes them worse.
I think with certain conditions it should be a requirement for spot checks of medication and a blood test to ensure it is being taken.
