Must Conclude:

|
|
| 1. |
Important
governmental interests are at stake,
|
|
|
| 2. |
Will
significantly further those state interests - substantially unlikely to
|
have
side effects that will interfere significantly (with achieving state
|
|
interest),
|
|
|
| 3. |
Necessary
to further those interests. The court must find that any
|
|
alternative,
less intrusive treatments are unlikely to achieve substantially
|
|
the
same results, and
|
|
|
| 4. |
Medically
appropriate, i.e., in the patient's best medical interest in light
|
of
his medical condition. The specific kinds of drugs at issue may matter
|
here
as elsewhere. Different kinds of antipsychotic drugs may produce
|
|
different
side effects and enjoy different levels of success.
