As someone who has been in a 5150 situation and was totally confused, and decently intelligent, I can easily say that if I had been certain I wanted to end my life I could have easily done it. Don't underestimate human ingenuity even during psychosis and even in very sheltered circumstances. I did not know why I was there or why I couldn't leave, and I was suffering tremendously. I truly feel that nobody: not caregiver, nor family, nor loved one, should ever be blamed. Thank you so much for your work and for saving countless lives... also.... just sayin... nurses do the most, and get commended the least. Here is to you
