The frustration I have is it is the responsibility of the doctors to treat and evaulate you to test you for your diagnosis. With having a psychological diagnosis, a psychologist is required to treat them not just with medication. With this being said it is very upsetting that attorneys dont push and bring it to the courts attention for these hospitals not following protocol. If anyone has had any luck with an attorney who is willing not only to sue but to stand up for the rights of the mentally who require more than just medication please say so. Thank you.

Mental health laws and proceedings vary state by state. And the effort and knowledge of attorneys varies by individual lawyer. It's a sad and frustrating process.
I work/have worked in a mental health unit at a hospital and am familiar with the involuntary treatment process here in Michigan. I know how imperfect and biased it can be. I do have the privilege of working with a few great attorneys who are good advocates for their clients, but even then they don't always win. I can definitely understand your frustration. |
