I want to second this. I originally hated the ones who forced me into hospitalization due to the terror it imposed on me, however, now that I have been stable for 3.5 years after finally being correctly diagnosed (earning a MBA and a promotion in that time), I am grateful my partner, a good family friend, and a police officer forced me to treatment 3 separate times, however bad the treatment was.

No bad feelings towards those who pushed me in, only towards those who treated me like crap in the hospitals. Why can't mental healthcare facilities treat humans like humans?

As a typeI who has missed nightly lithium maybe less than 5-10 times in 3.5 years since diagnosis, I am TERRIFIED to ever not take it and become symptomatic. What is the plan to test this in a safe manner and to even recruit candidates who would agree to go off meds?
