Okay that makes sense if there’s criminal charges where a defense lawyer could claim its possible mental illness being part of the reason for breaking laws.

I thought you meant just random people could be court ordered to stay on meds. We had a member here once that made an attempt and they were ordered to stay in there county, had to be on meds that blood test could prove they were being taken because they made an attempt.. I never understood that... like it’s a persons right to punch there ticket if they really want to .... isn’t it ??!!
