Just to clarify, anyone who is forced to take meds is "forced" by the courts. That means they are either deemed not competent to make this decision for themself or there is some other compelling reason, i.e. trying to avoid prosecution by remaining impaired, that the courts make this decision. It's not just because any one person thinks it's best.
And determining competency to make this decision (about meds) is done by professionally trained evaluators.
