[Magdalen] Washington Post article on involuntary hospitalization of the mentally ill

[Kate Conant]

The biggest problem I see with commitment laws is that they are
discriminate treatment of the so-called "mentally ill".  They have the
court system deciding what someone's "diagnosis" is and then shafting them
for it.  Brain disorders are medical disorders.
