Talk:Commitment (mental health)

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Commitment (mental health) into involuntary commitment. This article mostly deals with the history of commitment in a number of countries and both articles are relatively short. I think it will be confusing for editors to decide which article to add information to.

It looks like this material was initially in the sociology topic of institutionalization, and got split off into a separate page because it was a different kind of material (I presume) -- historical rather than theoretic. I agree with this decision. I also think that the material here is useful.

 * Hmm, I think I was meant to create this discussion in Talk:involuntary commitment not here. Conversation continues in Talk:involuntary commitment --Talpedia (talk) 15:46, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Tenuous "see also"s
How exactly are if.... ... Forrest Gump ... Cool Hand Luke and Rebel without a Cause connected with commitment on mental health grounds? Is all rebellious and all "intellectually impaired" behaviour automatically connected, if so probably a tenth of all drama, lterature and films should be included.

Conservatism might be considered to have a clear and obvious connection to mental health, but NPOV forbids me from pointing it out!Pincrete (talk) 16:27, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
