Judge Stormer said she pushed for the specialized court because most mentally ill would take their medications if urged to do so.

No they won't. Most meds have side effects patients do not want to deal with and will choose alcohol and other drugs over their prescribed meds. The prescribed meds also makes the patient feel normal and thus enforcing in their minds they really do not need the meds.
