Community Treatment Orders

Robert J. Doig, Consultant Psychiatrist

St Ann's Hospital, St Ann's Road, London N15 3TH

Sir: I write regarding the two articles on Community Treatment Orders by Moncrieff & Smyth and Burns (Psychiatric Bulletin, November 1999, 23, 644-646 and 647-648).

My concern is that occasionally a patient who stops his or her antipsychotic medication, against advice, remains well for some years at least.

I know of no way to predict this. Thus, some people may be forced indefinitely to take medication they do not need.
