I hate being so blunt and harsh with my experiences as I really want to be on the helpful team here. I care so much and have experienced so much and actually studied research in order to help my sister's family as well as my own. The Hippa Law allows patients to refuse care, to refuse medicines and to literally drive their families nuts with limited cooperation or no cooperation and going to court is not a suitable approach for helping troubled families.
We do not realize how much our loved ones are suffering inside and are not ready to face their torments and get better, especially those who have been raised by old school thinkers who believe that any illness is a sign of moral weakness and must be overcome with a swig of strong alcohol. This was my situation, and alcohol was involved in my sister's family members with OCD. Some of them were really bad, with oppositional defiant disorder diagnosis, and had committees supervise their public school attendance. One burned down the bedroom. Genetic OCD can be a huge family destroyer. Dorisena
