I worry that the mentally ill shall face some of the same "treatment" as did US Muslims after 9/11.

26. A tragedy, yet it is another extreme example when the majority are not

and that is my point.

Know that I spent some time in a ward due to an extreme situation (negative influence versus care/comfort) and they attempted what you've described: a court order to force administration of extreme drugs against my will. Note that I was mis-diagnosed by a doctor or whoever that was during a five-minute conversation and that the drugs they were going to force upon me were intolerably destructive compared to what actually ended upon helping me. One voluntary exposure to the mis-diagnosis-level drug told me quite enough (could not count to ten no matter how hard I tried for something like a week after a single dose; lost physical dexterity, zombied). The drugs which DID help me ended up tearing a hole in my short-term memory, tipping my workaholism energy into exhaustion, damaging my creativity and mental acuity... So the concept of someone being forced by people who may not even understand their patient is horrifying to me. It goes back to my quest to up the system to where real, adequate care can be given and the individual case better understood. Mistakes are made and we have to do better.

And most mentally ill people are not threats to themselves or others, or may not need to be given the proper support and environment (goes to the housing/care studies in my OP).
