Unlike cancer and diabetic patients, mentally ill patients are dangerous to others. If cancerous people could cause physical harm to others, I would be calling them out too. Let’s not pretend that mentally ill people are just normal and need normal treatment. They should be medicated and given a chance at life, or locked up (if they refuse).
“They should be medicated and given a chance at life, or locked up (if they refuse).”
Not all mentally ill people are dangerous. There’s many many different types and degrees of mental illnesses. To say they all need to be locked up for refusing treatment is a very dangerous proposition.
