I was discharged from hospital and relieved of compulsory treatment. But I remained well, and finally, the detention order was lifted. Our children were furious.

I observed many systemic issues that many of us are probably familiar with: people cycling in and out of jail, returning to the streets, and experiencing brief hospitalizations that didn’t seem to offer much help. However, Brickman claimed that Reagan reneged on this promise, leading to rapid hospital closures.
