Would you be open to possibly having to restrain the patient and force them to take the medicine? Would you be open to shaming then into taking it? Would it be wrong to say that unless they want to be cured, no one can help them?
- AstralStorm 10y agoYes, it is wrong. Forced treatment has a pretty long tradition. The problem is, unlike alcoholism there is no way to abstain from food other than being immobilised and fed IV or enteric. There are no good way to fake satiety yet. For alcoholics, there are drugs that will make one retch when they imbibe. For some narcotics, there are strict blockers.
