While I can see the benefit of using drugs to treat psychological disorders, there are ethical problems regarding their forced use. For example, I'm assuming there aren't other options, such as an elective residency in a institution for long-term psych treatments or whatever. I'm sure that would get expensive, however. This is a difficult issue.
