They do that in mental hospitals a lot they are legally not able to keep your for longer than a certain amount. When i still had suicidal tendencies i used this knowledge ti basically use mental hospitals as a sort of “getaway” the people were useless and there were all the stupid questions. But at least i could have a break from family. That in itself was helpful. But yeah afrer a tjme they will just kick you out on the street and youre on your own.

Also for the record. Ive been in many mental hospitals at least 19 times in my life. I have never ever been able to have “my own room” anytime. Maybe thats changed in the past 10 ish years but dont know. But yeah. Mental health system is messed up. I am very certain a large portion of “crazies” are simply undiagnosed individuals. If there was any authoritarian concept i would be even remotely ok with it would be semi forced diagnoses of all citizens. People who think they arent crazy tend to be the craziest.
