Rather than attempt to persuade a jury he should be permitted to continue to hold me against my will, the psychiatrist released me from the hospital. Since nobody can ever prove he or she isn't going to do something in the future, this allegation is always impossible to disprove. I've seen psychiatrists routinely make these allegations even when they have no reason to believe they are true and do not really believe the proposed patient is likely to harm anyone. Since few psychiatrists are constrained by the bounds of honesty, Kendra's Law and similar outpatient commitment laws do not really expand their despotic powers. The only psychiatrist whose powers are expanded by an outpatient commitment law such as Kendra's Law is one who always tells the truth , at least as he or she sees it.
All psychiatric drugs are harmful.
Nobody should be taking these drugs.
