Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Bailey finds the lower court properly ordered an involuntary commitment, but improperly ordered special conditions for outpatient treatment. A 62-year-old Air Force veteran was involuntarily committed after failing to take his psychotropic medications and reported for displayed concerning behavior. While he voluntarily took medications for schizoaffective disorder while in inpatient care, his attending physician expressed concerns over his ability to continue medications, his advanced level of disability and potential to harm himself or others. The lower court agreed and ordered a temporary commitment with special conditions for release. While evidence is sufficient to support the involuntary commitment, the special conditions imposed for release or outpatient treatment are unwarranted as there is a lack of evidence to support the decision. Affirmed in part.
