44. Not true in Connecticut, but you must pursue it in court, real hard,

Sat Dec 15, 2012, 08:14 PM

Dec 2012

My soon to be, 18 year old son is under a Superior Court order to accept medical treatment for his mental illness, and cannot stop treatment on his own, as he was declared Non compos mentis in August . He is committed to Connecticut's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. He has a conservator of the person, and another for Education. I live in Connecticut and started this process when he turned 17, because we saw it coming. He is a schizophrenic and lives at a care facility, and attends High School there as well.

It cost me a lot of money to make this happen, but it needed to be done.
