Directive? I have downloaded a copy from the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, and am presently filling it out. Because I am pregnant, and have had numerous hospitalizations due to bipolar disorder, it is important to me that my wishes are met (certain hospitals, doctors, no ECT or teratogenic drugs). I live in California and was wondering if anyone has done anything like this, and if so were their wishes met? I hope no one thinks me paranoid, but I have many horror stories when it comes to involuntary commitment, and I am looking to protect my baby and myself. Thanks for any info- Judy
