Schizophrenia and Involuntary Treatment in the Case of Malka Magnesia

1 Introduction Malka Magnesia is an average sophomore student in political science, suddenly refusing to go to school and reconcile with parents' lofts and refuse to work. She explained that she was ordered by her "supervisor" in another galaxy to sit down and regret. Her upset family asked her to seek medical assistance, but she refused the reason that her "supervisor" thought she was "worthless". Family psychiatrists suggest that exposure to some modern drugs can reduce this schizophrenia within a few weeks.

There are many legal and ethical issues surrounding schizophrenic patients and their families. One of them is unwillingly hospitalized. Do patients with schizophrenia need to be hospitalized against their will? On the other hand, if they do not pose a threat to themselves or others, they refuse to receive treatment. The following is a good example of the dilemma faced unwilling hospitalization. She demands money for passersby, but she does not mind them. I often see her talking to herself or the people she imagines. A newspaper reporter told her that she was a graduate of a university recently discharged from a mental hospital. A woman's conversation is meaningless. The police officer took her to a local psychiatric hospital, but the psychiatrist there said that she did not do anything to show that she is at risk of herself or other people I did not acknowledge her. She also expressed a reluctance to return to the hospital.

Over the years, the use of involuntary therapy and the use of the term "lack of insight" has become controversial in explaining patients. Although the mental health law varies widely from jurisdictional area, in many cases involuntary psychiatric treatment is permitted if it is considered to pose a risk to the patient or other person due to the patient's illness. Non-voluntary treatment is a treatment that is performed without patient consent, based on advice from a treating doctor. Psychiatric treatment has changed over the past few decades. In the past, people with mental illness are often hospitalized for more than 6 months, and in some cases they were hospitalized for years. In most countries today, people receiving psychiatric treatment are more likely to be considered outpatients. When hospitalization is necessary, the average length of stay is about 1 to 2 weeks, and only a few people get long-term hospitalization.
