What are the potential future implications of the current legal framework for mental health care in Bavaria?

The current Bavarian Mental Health Act's shortcomings, as highlighted by the Würzburg and Aschaffenburg incidents, could result in similar tragedies occurring in the future. The lack of support systems for severely mentally ill individuals after discharge from psychiatric care necessitates legislative changes to improve long-term care and preventative measures. Minister-President Söder's announced intention to 'harden' the law might be an attempt to address these weaknesses.
