@AnnihilatedAnna To answer your question, I'd imagine more people would be 'honest' with their counselor, therapist, psychiatrist if they are able to talk about the topic of suicide without the threat of involuntary hospitalization or treatment. In fact, I think it may save more lives than the current system now, which is counterproductive and never in the suicidal's interest to ever be honest/open about suicide ideation or plans.
@CornerE That really sucks that this kind of abusive treatment is deemed 'standard procedure'. There needs to be an serious overhaul of how they treat suicidal people. They need to treat them like human beings with dignity and not some animal or criminal.
@311 Wow, that is quite the bravery, and while I don't condone violence, I sorted see how you'd lose your cool, especially if you have been treated poorly. Anyways, I hope you didn't get serious legal consequences out of it.
