Interesting, I'll look into your book. If forced treatment doesn't help people, what are your thoughts on what should be done about mentally ill people who reject treatment? I'm thinking specifically of Eugenia Cooney, a young and popular youtuber who suffers from ED and is seemingly reaching the end of a long and very public spiral to her death. Nobody thinks there is much hope now or that the end can be very far away. It's very sad, but there is seemingly nothing that can or will be done under the law currently to get her help or treatment. The ethics of allowing her to die, people watching her die, and the inability of anyone involved to get her medical and psychiatric help have been on my mind the past few weeks.
