English translation:[involuntary] incarceration/commitment/confinement
Explanation:
INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENT
How easy is it to be committed? Very easy. In the United States alone, a person is ***involuntarily incarcerated in a psychiatric facility*** every 1 ј minutes. How therapeutic is involuntary incarceration? Consider the following examples of committal abuse.

CAN I BE LOCKED IN ***SOLITARY CONFINEMENT*** OR BE FORCED TO WEAR A STRAIGHT JACKET?
Legally, you cannot be placed against your will in seclusion or mechanical restraint unless it is necessary because of imminent physical danger to yourself or others and a physician orders the seclusion or restraint in writing. Seclusions and restraints cannot be used as substitutes for treatment. You may feel that restraint and/or seclusion was used inappropriately in your situation. You should contact an advocate or attorney to discuss this further.

...It would be more honest for WHO to ask people who have the most interest - i.e. those ***incarcerated*** & tortured & ill-treated by psychiatry - to evaluate the impact of mental health systems on our human rights, and take that as a point of departure for recommending systemic change in the mental health systems.
