1. “"Although continuation of commitment obviously differs from an initial commitment in certain respects, the stigma that arises from commitment is a function not only of the fact of commitment but, also, of its duration. Bluntly, the longer someone is committed for a mental illness-six months versus one year; one year versus three years-the greater the attendant stigma."”

2. “"In both types of cases and in the case at bar, the subject was involuntarily committed to the custody of the state. In both, a social stigma attaches which affects the person's reputation and earning potential. Although ORS 426.160 does put limits on the availability of the judicial record of commitment, it is no secret that defendant was committed ***. Furthermore, inquiry into a person's history of mental health by, for example, a prospective employer or bonding agency, would be legitimate. *** In fact, if he refused to give a prospective employer or surety such information, he * could very well be turned down for that reason. Finally, the fact that defendant had been involuntarily committed as a mentally ill person would not be a secret, irrespective of other material contained in the court record. "Whether a society should view mental illness as carrying with it more stigma than any other form of illness, it, in fact, does. A legal commitment for mental illness may have deleterious collateral effects in addition to stigma."”
