In cases where a person is manic or psychotic, they may lack the capacity to make a rational decision regarding their healthcare. In such cases, the state may have the authority to intervene and provide necessary treatment in the best interest of the individual's health and safety. However, in all other cases, a person's right to refuse treatment should be respected.
