Well that's bodily autonomy and freedom of choice and is part and parcel of living in a free society.

Free to choose your kid infecting another kid with a disease that kills them. Stick it the man!

I do know that. I dont know many people, health care professionals or otherwise, who consider someone believing that people have the 'mark of the beast on them' or that the choice of net curtains someone chooses to hang can indicate whether or not they are satanists as falling under the remit of 'religious beliefs'. And if someone brought their concern for a relative displaying that behaviour to you in your capacity as a Health Professional and your response was to shrug and say 'sorry, those are her religious beliefs, nothing for me to do here', then shame on you!

Well thank you for assuming that would be my response based on 1 line. I'll ask you a question, why do you deem Gemma to be mentally ill due to stating beliefs about Satan? Do you feel the members of the Westboro Baptist Church to be mentally ill? How about Pope Francis who regularly talks about the evils and God with certainty that they are physically manifest? What about preachers in Mosques who talk about everlasting life with no physical evidence of same?

This is a lot more nuanced than 1 line in a post on social media. I am in no way willing to speculate on Gemma's mental health and while anyone else can speculate about it, you shouldnt' be diagnosing people based on social media posts. It is unethical for medical professionals to diagnose someone they havent evaluated. There's specific circumstances where doctors can assess people, thats if they voluntarily present to you or whether they are brought to you involuntarily under certain circumstances via the Mental Health Act. Either way, from day 1 in medical school, we are trained in how to take a history, physically examine and assess someone and we have specific methods of evaluating someones mental health, namely via a mental health exam which involves various aspects like assessing their mood, their appearance, their speech, their thoughts in form and content, how they appear to us, whether I feel they are psychotic or suicidal amongst a lot else. This is drilled into us during our psych rotations in college and during time working in psychiatry. Either way, whats important is that there is a whole person way of evaluating someone and their religious beliefs alone isnt reason to declare someone mentally ill, no matter how strongly someone else feels about it. If that was the case, the Westboro Baptist Church family would have been locked up long ago (they possibly should have been for being horrible people anyway!)

They didn't do it during the BLM nonsense during the Summer. Remember when we had Jedward jumping on cars in O'Connell street? The same half-witted pair were brought onto the Late Late by Tubs to excoriate people for not sticking to the guidelines.

Why was that nonsense but what these people are doing now isn't?
