I think it is a mistake to discount the biological basis for mental illness. I also think there are times when involuntary administration of medication is indicated - especially during particularly acute situations where the patient is in danger, or administering needed medical care to the patient is being compromised.
Although the incidences are quite rare, if the patient represents significant menace to the public the medications may also be appropriate.
I'm afraid that I must reject the notion that physicians simply want people to take said drug and go away. It may, in fact, be medically necessary and proper for that drug to be administered.
I think all modalities for treatment should be on the table.
