Have you considered that many give up because they don't feel listened to?

Holding someone 'because they might decompensated' sounds like a recipe for permanent confinement as it is impossible to argue against the possibility that something might happen.

Sounds like there really needs to be a legal mechanism such as an injunction for stopping government bodies from passing similar unconstitutional laws after a law gets struck down on the basis of being unconstitutional. Such a law would be able to be applied to any law that is substantially similar to a law that was struck down as unconstitutional and then the government bodies would have to fight against the induction to show otherwise.

What would be your advice for anyone facing hospitalisation against their will? What are the options for fighting it if it does happen and what are some options for preventing it from happening in the first place?

Definitely raise the issue. There is nothing to lose from not raising it. Regardless, another strategy that could be considered would be for if a lawyer has multiple clients be subjected being subjected to an unconstitutional law would be encourage class lawsuits.

Strength in numbers is good for fighting the system and could provide the lawyers involved a good amount of income that would allow them to focus on the case. If there are continuous class lawsuits to challenge the constitutionality of law, it may increase the chance the government may give up trying certain things.
