Effectiveness of rating scales for suicide risk

RE: Effectiveness of rating scales for suicide risk
I've been held against my will for nothing more than having a serious suicide attempt 8 years prior and being very upset because of grieving. It's really not hard at all. All the doctor needs is a strong suspicion that you're a danger to yourself or others. They don't have to prove anything.

I'm going to guess that the people interviewing your patients, chimp3, are either lazy or don't give a shit, which is not unusual in the mental health field.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
