Court Properly Permitted Administration of Medication to Involuntarily Committed Patient

The Second Department determined Supreme Court, after a hearing, properly permitted the Rockland Psychiatric Center to administer psychotropic medication to an involuntarily committed patient suffering from schizophrenia who had refused the medication:

The State may administer a course of medical treatment against a patient’s will if it establishes, by clear and convincing evidence, that the patient lacks “the capacity to make a reasoned decision with respect to proposed treatment,” and that “the proposed treatment is narrowly tailored to give substantive effect to the patient’s liberty interest, taking into consideration all relevant circumstances, including the patient’s best interests, the benefits to be gained from the treatment, the adverse side effects associated with the treatment and any less intrusive alternative treatments”… .  Matter of Jay S, 2014 NY Slip Op 04204, 2nd Dept 6-11-14
