I found a Psych advance directive form

Posted by responsiblek9 on November 20, 2003, at 14:29:27

I found this and want to know what any of you know about the advanced Psychiatric forms . I have been thinking about doing this but I have found even though it is in the state medicaid laws and federal laws and recognized as valid under Title II of the ADA as valid as a medical advanced directive the mental health systems are very resistant to the idea of this. So wanted to see what all you knew on this . I want to be able to self advocate because of the problem of the psych facilities often ignoring the documented bad reactions to medications my medical doctor has warned them of I have had . And when I went in for treatment involuntary twice I almost paid for this problem with my life! I dont want another repeat . I could have sued the mental health system that did that to me . But they lost the dad gum records I needed to prove my case. But My med doc does know what happened and is all for this advanced psych directive and so it the therapist. But I need more info before i wade in. Anyone ???
