Description
Readers of EP are familiar with an eclectic mix of articles helpful to families coping with the limitless issues that disability and special needs challenges push into our lives. Yet I have seen little information addressing a topic that consumes half of my professional life and casts its long shadow on the remainder of my law practice devoted to guardianship, conservatorship and trusts. That topic is getting treatment for serious mental illness when its victim refuses care. Mental illness surrounds us. It touches every one of us in one way or another. Some of our readers may suffer from mental illness themselves. Some are caring for (and often just trying to coexist with) a loved one impacted with emotional distress and mental illness. Some are professionals guiding others though the labyrinth of the mental health treatment system. Some are all of the above. As a civil commitment judge for almost twenty-five years, I have seen the countless tragedies mental illness inflicts on innocent patients, families, and communities.
