Best Answer

Schizophrenia alone does not justify a commitment. However, if you are a danger to yourself or others and you refuse treatment, a committment can be put in place. Many people with schizophrenia receive social security in some form. In order to receive social security disability, you need a certain number of work credits built up. Even if you don't have the number of work credits, you are still eligible for social security income (essentially it's public assistance).

Therapy is one way to treat depression, and possibly the best way.
