Are therapists empowered to arrest patients?
There is probably a more politically correct term, such as ‘this person requires a secure safe-zone, 24/7/365.’
Easier just to pump ‘em with PROZAC and show ‘em the door.

“Declaration of Incompetency. Every state has court procedures for determining when and if someone is incompetent. Only a tiny percentage of persons with mental health conditions have ever been declared incompetent under these procedures. This corresponds with the reality that almost all persons with even the most serious mental illnesses are competent most of the time - that is, they are capable of making their own decisions about whether to seek treatment and support and what treatment and support they should receive.”
