There
is an absolutely unacceptable practice concerning the termination of
involuntary treatment or treatment against the will of a person in psychiatric institutions.
The medical staff concludes that the person is no longer in need of inpatient
treatment, that they have recovered and the treatment should be terminated, but
it is not possible to discharge them, because the hearings of the applications
of psychiatric institutions are delayed indefinitely in the courts.
People
have to stay in the psychiatric institution for days in a state of uncertainty
while being deprived of their liberty and wait for the court to decide on the
termination of their treatment; that is whether to discharge or release them.
This is also a problem for the psychiatric institution.
We
have raised this issue within the framework of the functions of the National
Prevention Mechanism (NPM) of the Human Rights Defender and we will address it
in more detail in the near future. The legislative regulations are also flawed.
