My oldest sister developed mental problems a little less than 40 years ago. She has been taking medication for her condition since then, during which time she finished college, attended nursing school, and worked as a registered nurse for over 30 years. She also married and raised a family, and has never attacked or injured anyone. According to you, she should have been locked up for most of her life instead.
I will refrain from expressing my personal opinion of you and those on this thread who have agreed with your position.
Good for your sister...mine refused to take meds...After I tried committing her (she said she was thinking of poisoning my husband and I in a letter to a friend we confiscated)..i was unab le to since she had hurt no one “ yet” she has managed to raise 2 kids living in section 8 housing and using the “system” among her other “using” capabilities...she isn’t dumb...one is doing ok...not sure about the other)
