Meds and therapy are, for the most part usually suggested or done voluntarily. If it has to be forced by court order, etc. then the patient has bigger problems beyond their own and your control.
Being institutionalized is extreme and disturbing, but hopefully done in time for the patient's and society's safety. It is supposed to be merciful and humane.
Too many times, society loses and the subject suicides before intervention can take place. First responders deal with this daily. Because of privacy laws, much of it is kept under the radar.
