  1. #Facts about #involuntary #psychiatric hold:

    The #UnitedNations recognises it as a form of #torture.

    It increases #suicide risk by 191 times.

    It increases the risk of #dying from heart #disease and stroke by 3.5 times (no shit on that one, forcing extremely high doses of heavy drugs on someone without even titrating it does that)

    45% of patients in psych wards have experienced sexual #violence during an admission.

    You are a shitty #person if you try to get someone involuntarily committed.
