[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the difference between this an an FD12 which already exists and is used in DC?[/quote] Well, FD12 is a limited time deal and the confinement needs to be constantly re-evaluated at very short intervals before a court (48 hours? It's been a while since I worked psych). It's essentially a "let's take a breather" maneuver to medicate a person who wasn't taking their meds. Patch 'em up -- again, during a quick involuntary interval that involves a LOT of meds -- and send 'em back out. The classic case is schizophrenia - a front-loading of meds over a few days into a person who's been noncompliant will quickly change their demeanor and make them appear competent before the judge to make their own decision. To be let out, which of course is their wish. Onto the "street," where they will invariably become non-compliant again. [/quote]
