If you're poor then you're basically mentally ill.

I couldn't afford anxiety/depression meds and went to a professional. Literally told me, almost verbatim, "I don't think you're a danger to anyone or yourself, but I'm going to put you down as 5150. After a holding period you'll get medicine."

Thought about it, decided no as I didn't want to screw up my background checks just to get medicine.

"Well I already put it down."

I didn't want to fight my way through two guards (though I wish I would have tried) so I had to go through a shitty, depressing, and degrading experience. And I couldn't afford the medicine they prescribed me. The entire point of lying to game the system, the entire point of fucking me while acting like a savior, and I couldn't even get medicine.

So yeah. Tagged as being a danger to myself or others because I didn't have money to buy medicine... and a mental health professional thought she figured out a lifehack and tested it on a real person.
