Why is the psychiatry keeping individuals at places not of their choice?

Do you find this humane?

If the person is truly a danger to themselves, or others, absolutely.

No, it violates human rights and such poor people have then no rights. Even if you are accused of something, you have rights, you have rights to have a lawyer etc. Psychiatry patients had often no rights at all. With 10% os psychiatrists admitting sexually abusing patients...

It's humane if it's for the person's safety. Besides, they can't even keep them over 72 hours against their will, and there is a lot of asessment that they have to do even for the 72 hour mandatory stay.
