The pendulum has swung too far away from mandatory mental health care treatment and committment.
It is a 180 degree turn from when committment was maybe too easy to obtain and too many mental health facilities were run horribly and in some cases inhumanely. Now we have gone too far in the wrong direction.
States need to find a better middle ground between the past and where we are now, so we can humanely get more folks that need treatment off the streets and/or getting the help they need.
