[Compulsory procedures at the Psychiatric Department, Frederiksberg Hospital, before and after introduction of the new psychiatric legislation. 3. Compulsory medication].

The purpose of this investigation was to register if the new Danish law concerning commitment and compulsory procedures in psychiatry from 1.10.1989 caused changes in the extent of forced medications. During the period: 1.1.1988-30.9.1991 all compulsory procedures in the department of psychiatry, Frederiksberg Hospital, were registered. The number of patients medicated by force was unchanged, but after the law reform significantly fewer patients were medicated with depotpreparations and the duration of forced medication was significant longer. Twenty-three patients complained about the forced medication, one before and 22 after the law reform. For 18 patients the complaints put off administration of the forced medication, and they waited a total of 251 days for the complaints board to make a decision. The complaints board only agreed with one patient. The law reform has increased the public security for the psychiatric patients but did not as intended prevent or limit forced medication.
