I do not not fault people who may be mentally ill but who assiduously avoid seeking evaluations or treatment in Alaska. It is as bad as if you were a criminal, at times. Too many times, the evaluation process has been abused and treatment plans neglected. Almost everyone involved seems to become tired and jaded--inside the treatment enterprise bureaucracy and also within families. You have more rights and liberty as a criminal fed into the so-called justice "system." I would not voluntarily put myself through these hysterically-dreary Rube Goldberg clap-traps that some mental health systems and facilities in Alaska appear to be--not, at least, without being bullied, coerced, terrorized and stranded into one. In some Alaska institutions, the records for iatrogenic outcomes, if ever honestly tracked and published, would make for a haunting and horrifying report and give pause to recall many medieval notions and practices that are still current today. The system imposes its own jeapordys.
