Can you think of policies that would help achieve a better balance between undertreatment and overtreatment?
I could see how a lot of well-meaning people could individually decide that it's better to treat than to ignore, but when you add it all up it becomes a nightmare for the patient.
Treatment should never be invasive and should always be voluntary. That's what every policy should be. As soon as you start experimenting with force, especially when you are already the powerful party nobody can say no to, you become a monster. It is not safe to interact with a system that is prepared and happy to forcefully detain you.
