Look, my B is in psychosis, which has been drug induced, yes, but also triggered by recent trauma with a foundation of abuse he experienced as an adolescent. He also has a myriad of health issues that contribute to the mental illness. This psychosis can persist for a long time and possibly permanently but the public mental health and drug court system is not equipped to support his recovery. It is set up so that he winds up dead or in jail/prison. Civil commitment proceedings should be pursued by the county prosecutor but because of funding and staffing this probably won't happen. For my family to just throw hands up in the air, to not take action that brings B into treatment (he is not competent to make his own decisions), would be just like Edmund Bruke said: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Not that we can or should expect to be able to do any more than we possibly can, but to do nothing right now would just be wrong. Dead wrong.
