he has zero real, actual suicidal ideation or tendencies.
agreed, but that doesn't mean that he won't lie. russell greer is a lying liar who lies, living with unprecedented circumstances, having been recently evicted, and facing one (possibly two) turns as the defendant in his pursuit of endless litigation. he just might be desperate enough, that's my point.
so did i, it's where i found the documents for the screenshots in my previous post:

i even linked to the the same website in my post:
if he becomes desperate enough, and he decides to seek an emergency hold, he is
required by law to be diagnosed with a mental health illness before he can be held, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
The only time they mention the statute you refer to is when they talk about extending the hold past 72 hours
no, if you read the documents in the pdf that i highlighted above from the nvbh website, the statute is cited throughout. the process seems to be: make statements / take action that presents a threat to self or others > be taken to medical facility by authorized personnel > be assessed for both mental and physical illnesses / injuries > if mental illness is determined to be contributing to current mental health crisis > be placed on 72-hour hold by authorized provider.
72 hour psych holds are a complete myth and Russell will be taken seriously.You need to already be diagnosed as mentally ill or else the authorities will be powerless to detain and transport you to a mental hospital.
a 72-hour hold is specifically incorporated into all mental health crisis documentation that is required by law in nevada. there is no requirement that a person be diagnosed with a mental illness
prior to assessment, only that a person
be diagnosed with a mental illness prior to a 72-hour hold being authorized. an emergency room physician could diagnose someone with ptsd, for example, and if that person were verbalizing or indicating suicidal ideation, that would suffice.
and just to be clear, i don't think that this information in any way helps greee. while it would be hilarious if he ended up on a hold, especially if he did so intentionally, it would only delay the inevitable barrage of legal issues that he's facing, and it would be all the more advantageous to his adversaries. just imagine mr. hardin being able to include "according to recent filings, mr. greer is currently residing in a psychiatric facility". lol.
