It's Time to Mandate Treatment of the Dangerously Mentally Ill
&gt; What’s needed is a single agency, let’s call it “New York Psych,” to address this growing crisis<p>That... doesn&#x27;t sound like a great idea. If you&#x27;re all-knowing and all-good, great. Otherwise seems like a pretty gross violation of basic human rights - what about the false positives (people who get forced treatment while claiming that they are not ill and don&#x27;t need it and then that turns out to be actually true).<p>We could temporarily solve many of the world&#x27;s problems if we had more authoritarianism, but it never ends well in fiction or in real life.
