From a purely practical standpoint, it just doesn’t make any sense for mental health care to be so inaccessible to those who have the “scary”, potentially dangerous mental illnesses and disorders. It benefits everyone to give such people copious positive incentives to seek out whatever psychiatric or therapeutic care they might need, to facilitate them integrating with society in a way that is safe for themselves and others. Instead, there is an enormous disincentive: seeking treatment for those illnesses and disorders carries the risk of losing one’s rights and agency, if one is deemed too dangerous. The more someone with one of these conditions feels that they might be dangerous, the greater their disincentive to seek help for it.
It’s so wildly dysfunctional, it almost seems like a bad joke.
We’re much more valuable to capitalism as criminals than as patients, and society is configured in such a way as to facilitate us down that path.
