Depression lies. It often takes a long time before somebody's able to cope with getting therapy or meds. But no, you can't generally force somebody to go to treatment unless they're threatening suicide or violence or seriously delusional (and usually that's a 3-day hold, sometimes longer if they're really messed up.)
