That question would be is forced denial of treatment for the mentally ill ever humane. I question how many mentally ill people on the street are there because they were given a choice to avoid treatment or if they were driven there by circumstances. The cognitive disruption of most mental health treatments would make most any sane person question their value versus quality of life.
I do agree that mental illness definitions are a problem. Even forcing treatment on just those who are a danger to society makes me leery given that hostile social posts are now a social danger.
