It sucks that this happened, and I feel for her fright of having to deal with a person of diminished mental/psychological reasoning/capacity... the only issue with the meds is that once someone is off of them, they're no longer the rational human that knows taking them is the right thing to do. Most of the time, they think someone is trying to poison them, or they think they're fine and are just insulted that someone is telling them to take a pill.
I'm glad she'll be out of there soon, though.
