I regard the idea that you should lock someone up in case they commit a crime as insane.
In other words I regard it as irrational and I disagree with it.
Yet it is ardently believed in by psychiatrists who delude themselves that it is reasonable.
Coercion in psychiatry is never a "necessary evil". It is always a crime.
The only circumstances in which people can be arrested and detained by the state is if they
have committed a crime.
If you can't see this basic point you have missed the point.
Also, if there is no illness there can be no treatment, coerced or otherwise.
