Would it be possible to sue the hospital for ignoring the court order? Might be a way to make some progress. It's a shame the system functions so poorly.

  My attorney said that we have 3 cases: my criminal case (misdemeanor charges - trial is next week), my civil case against the hospital (false imprisonment), and my girlfriend's malpractice case. The industry is partially protected by "standard of care", which is basically "drugs for symptoms". My thinking is that it is better to treat causes than symptoms. I have been observing and experimenting, and we've found some things that work rather well. The next step is to get my girlfriend off the sedative that the mental health court forces her to take. A lot of my submission was trimmed away to fit in 2000 characters. I guess this was the core of it: "Compulsory mental health care exists for a reason: sometimes people get suicidal, are incapable of taking care of themselves, or don’t realize how others see them. Lucky patients are watched for 48-hours to make sure they stabilize, then are released. After their acute crisis passes, these patients can go about their usual lives. "Unlucky patients are treated in perpetuity with drugs that never allow them to recover: 'Sedate the patient until normalized'."
