Side effects would be a valid reason for the mentally fit, so it seems like a good enough reason for the mentally challanged too. Say someone has panic attacks, you want to force them to take meds that make them sick and steralize them? Really?
Autism, Schizophrenia, PTSD, phobias etc are not passed on genetically.
Yes they are,esp schizophrenia.
Autism I'm not sure.
If someone is suffering from side effects that can be relieved by switching to other drugs in the same or different class.
Would you rather the mentally ill walk on the streets?
Depression, anxiety, and ADHD are all mental illnesses, should people who suffer from that be forced to take medications? Does this apply to children as well?
If someone is not a threat to others or themselves, why should they be forced to take medications?? Many people who are mentally ill want to take medications but can't afford the medications or psychiatrist visits. Besides, medication isn't the only treatment for mental illness.
I am pretty shocked that a nurse would have views as those expressed by you. I hope your'e not a psychiatric nurse.
Sory,I should clarify. I'm mainly talking about schizophrenia.
As I said,it isn't about access to meds for most mentally ill. My community has a free clinic. Based on what I see in my family,most DON'T want to take meds. Instead some of them would rather take illegal drugs.
I guess the above poster would rather have these people walking around until they explode like the man in the OP. After the first violent incident he should have been committed,sorry if that offends some.

I have no problem with locking up violent people, whether they are mentally ill or not.
I do have a problem with locking up people who YOU think MIGHT become violent.
If someone has not become violent, I have no problem with them walking the streets, it's called freedom.

now you want to lock up everybody that has committed a violent act? That is an extremely broad category, pushing, shoving, punching a wall, slapping, threats of violence, plus a lot of women make false accusations. You'd be putting away half the population. Where ya gonna put em all, the jails and prisons are full. You are basically talking incarceration for people with momentary lapses in judgment.
This man killed in self-defense, and they want to lock him up. Despite ‘Castle Doctrine,’ defendant is convicted in slaying
As for Eugene, the cannibal, I don't believe he had a violent past. There was nothing to suggest he was capable of this.
This is creepy stuff. Been called a zombie gas. Some relationships to cannabinoids also. Can't believe people create this crap. Several of the symptoms listed. Particularly vivid hallucinations, disrobing, failure to obey orders etc... 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate
Saw an article reporting that they think it was LSD now.
