Lecture Notes

PS: So they can't force me to take medication? A: If a doctor decides that you need to take medication for your condition and you refuse it, medication may be forced upon you if you become a danger to yourself or others. If the court has taken away your right to consent to treatment, then a guardian or a guardian advocate can make treatment decisions for you.
