Please stop spreading misinformation. You clearly don’t understand the system. As I explained in my other reply to you on this post, that’s just not how involuntary commitments work. Commitments beyond a few days are difficult, beyond a week requires such crazy evidence that some who could benefit from it don’t get it, and beyond a few weeks/a month is incredibly rare.
Obviously we need wraparound community services, but you’re pushing an outdated fiction about institutionalization.
As I said, SCOTUS has already held its illegal. I’ve seen no case challenging that, let alone one that’s made it to a high level of appeal. Holds are up to 72 hours, meaning you see a judge by the 72nd hour. Like I said, it’s often before that. Getting a judge to extend the hold is insanely hard. The fact that they were able to extend yours speaks to how rough your situation was. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but I’m not trying to mince words
