INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT FOR THE MENTALLY ILL

California's treatment threshold for imposing non-volitional psychiatric care on a person suffering from a mental illness states that he or she must be either "a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled." Today in Pasadena, a group of mental health advocates stands in support of involuntary treatment for the mentally ill. Guest host Judy Muller speaks with Randall Hager, Director of Government Affairs for the California Psychiatric Association, Sally Zinman, Executive Director of the California Network of Mental Health Clients.
