“When treatment is crucial”

Posted on May 25, 2014 by Webtypo

This May 25, 2014 article on the Philly.com website talks about issues involved in trying to find a balance between the rights of mentally ill people and the rights of those around them. The article talks about new laws in Virginia, but also touches on Re. Tim Murphy’s proposed bill to reform the mental health system in the United States.
