I'm wondering if its a case of, the email triggered a police response, that way if you were of a risk to others, or at current serious risk to yourself, or were totally distressed, then they could have sectioned you,
As you were calm and of I guess in their thoughts, of sound mind, then they refer you back to the hospital, as there is no reason to section you
When I have threatened on my life in the past, but have been distressed, out of control and a serious risk to myself and or others, they sectioned me under 136.
The last time I was in that mindset, I was so calm, and able to talk reasonably to them, they just sent me home whilst referring me back to the MHT.
The UK does suck when it comes to Mental Health, but then I think the whole world does, no one knows what to do, or whom to take seriously anymore, so many people use the word *mental* for the smallest of things, how can they work out who is actually serious any more? I know a lady on social media and for a joke her middle name is put as *mental* as apparently its fucking as she's fucking mental, as in crazy but in the haha side?
It makes no sense
