People who claim they were saved by involuntary treatment miss a crucial logical point: they were not saved by the legal or ethical status of their treatment, they were saved by the treatment itself. The point of people who argue against involuntary treatment is not that nobody should get psych drugged ever, it's that forcing it on people who refuse -- often people who are not dangerous or behaving chaotically -- is a human rights violation and an assault that sound not be tolerated or encouraged.
