Involuntary commitment is a very controversial subject, so is enforced medication compliance. In Mass, an MD has to commit them temporarily and then go to court to commit them for a length of time (usually 6 months) and the courts determine on the advice of the MD what meds (with maximums) they have to take if they refuse, if they refuse we inject them, it usually takes only a few times of that to make them more compliant. The problem is they only have to take it while they're in the hospital, once they're out a lot of them think they're 'cured' and stop taking their meds and wind up back in. We used to call them frequent flyers. One thing I have noticed is that with the new atypical antipsychotics a lot of the MD's don't treat them for akathisia which I think sometimes is a big mistake. They used to give them an anticholinergic drug which I forgot the name of.

IIRC, in Ontario (Canada) involuntary commitment can last no more than 3 days. If more time is required, a court order is needed for a further 3 days. Repeat as necessary. The administrative burden is such that it is extraordinarily rare for involuntary commitment to last more than 3 days.

I agree 100% but they are usually the ones people call for disturbances so that's why I say they should have on-call counselors if need be, too many dead people.

I agree wholeheartedly with the on-call counseling idea. Probably not anywhere near impossible to make it happen, and it would also probably change some stats overall in a good way.

Did some more testing with the Boss LS-2 clean blending. I had the MXR OD in the B loop and put a low pass filter to the A loop so when engaged the lpf cut the frequenzies above circa 600hz (from the clean signal only). Without the LPF it sounds fine but I find that with a not-so-heavy overdrive the clean blended tone is too overpowering and the whole mix sounds a little bit artificial. With the LPF it sounds more like the OD itself (hey, that could be a BÖC title) but with the low end intact.

Three different sound clips with all pickup variations. On all of them first OD only , then OD with the clean blended and then OD with the LPF'd clean blended.
