There are other things they can do to help compliance with treatment, like doctor-administered injections instead of pills.  The thing is that even when people agree to treatment, they might forget their medicine and then be off in a psychotic episode and too detached from reality to take it.<p>I know this entirely too well because my mother was violently murdered by someone off their meds and the doctors managed to decide that nobody was at risk in spite of her telling them she feared for her life.<p>So I&#x27;d be more inclined to say that doctors have good reason to make sure people stay on their meds and to change treatments to ones where compliance can be better enforced whenever necessary.
