People have the right to choose no treatment.
John Nash for example, only used antipsychotics for a few years, maybe only 2 or 3. In an interview he admitted to being concerned about the long term dammage the drug might cause. He said he didn't think the drugs were safe.
He's a smart guy, who was suffering severe psychosis, but he was allowed to make his own decisision which ultimately got him better.
