When we get angry, social workers are quick to call 911 on us & have us psychologically re-evaluated. Why can non-mental health patients be angry & it's acceptable?

Even so called experts do not understand mental illness. Anger is not a "mentally ill" emotion; it is a normal emotion often to the frustration of the "system." If these social workers cannot handle it, then they should be in another form of work.

The anger is often from frustration at not coping with an emotion. Patients with mental health problems often lack the ability to control their emotions and can become dangerous to themselves and others.
So the reason 911 is called is for your safety and others. Re-evaluation will tell if your illness is getting worse or your medication needs changing.

Don't take it personal. Public mental health system is in shambles and social workers want 100% assurance of safety.

Hmmm. Let's see how many bureaucracies are okay with someone blowing a fuse:
Traffic court
IRS office
Social Security Administration Building
Airport
County permit dept
City Council meeting
Police dept
Get the picture. It's not about your MI per se, but it is about your poor choice of places to blow up, regardless of how legitimately frustrated you may be.

Because mental health patients dont always have the capability to be just plain mad without a downward spiral following. It maybe an over reaction but it shows that people do care.

It depends on how the anger is expressed

Get angry and behave rationally, and you should have no problem.
