A member asked:
Who is allowed to administer antipsychotic injections? does it have to be a nurse? also do these injections have to be done at a clinic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consent is needed: It depends on the situation. In all situations the injection of anti-psychotics must be done with physician supervision and appropriate consent. If treatment is court ordered the process is a bit more complicated and may vary somewhat from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. . Anti-psychotic medication administration can lead to irreversible side effects like tardive dyskinesias.
