Involuntary commitment in psychiatric facilities

Sadly, posting about this on a forum isn't going to solve anything. I’d just suggest a few practical steps:
- Go directly to Medicare and sit down with someone in charge to explain the situation—ask them to facilitate a mandatory change of your primary care physician.
- Then, request new evaluations from a second, or even a third, psychiatrist regarding your mental state.
- If those psychiatrists conclude that nothing is wrong with you, my advice would be to voluntarily check yourself into a hospital.
- Find a solid lawyer and talk through everything with them; you might really need one soon.
If you're struggling to act on this because you're unemployed or lacking health insurance, please reach out to a reliable friend for help. From my own experience, I can tell you that psychiatrists are generally very wary of dealing with mentally stable observers or legal guardians.
PS: Just keep in mind... if you present these facts to anyone and they turn out to be untrue, they will immediately dismiss you as paranoid. So, don't speculate or make accusations; stick strictly to the hard facts. First, deal with that doctor to get him out of the equation, and then we can figure out the next steps.
By the way, what city or area are you located in?
Listen,
when it comes to psychiatrists, I think it would be best to find someone who actually believes in God. If things go sideways, many of them are atheists who don't believe in anything other than the idea that man is the smartest thing on Earth.
With those types, you can't even explain things properly; they're typical idiots. It's useless, like talking to a brick wall.
On the other hand, you can't trust doctors too much because we're dealing with economic medicine tied to massive corporations. Helping a patient often takes a backseat to pushing pills and promoting drugs, so I don't even know what to tell you.
Maybe the best thing is to confront this guy if he's really as bad as you say. If he starts threatening you with his connections, just handle it. If he ever lays a hand on you, hit him back with a piece of wood until he realizes that isn't how this works. Fortunately, at the end of the day, everyone is just a mortal human being—whether they have connections, power, money, or are just corrupt bureaucrats.
It’s the same thing with certain dog owners; they threaten to let their dogs loose on people, and you can't do anything about it. At least, that's what plenty of people have told me. When I ask if they're a cop or a security guard, they just laugh in my face and let the dog go.
When I finally lose my cool, they won't be able to walk their dogs for a while, so that’s the best solution right there.
Try to stay polite and civil, but if they act out and you've already been waiting forever, and the person is truly immoral, the best thing is to just take them out. These people have connections everywhere, but everyone understands force once it's applied. Then, suddenly, the little kitty cat doesn't bite or make threats anymore. If they threaten to kill you again—which is what these thugs do—you preempt them before things get messy in their heads.
