☆ Opinion | Doctors, Not Judges, Should Decide When to Treat Patients Without Their Consent

He had a long history of untreated schizophrenia, I learned, which had estranged him from family members and friends, with whom he had virtually no contact. My colleagues and I didn’t know what to do, so we called the treating psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said the patient should remain in the hospital to receive psychiatric treatment, even against his will. Patients with untreated schizophrenia have a higher rate of death than those who undergo treatment. (If autonomy means anything, it means that patients have the right to make bad decisions, too.)

To the Editor:Re “My Father Didn’t Want to Live if He Had Dementia. But Then He Had It,” by Sandeep Jauhar (Opinion guest essay, Oct. 28):As a hale elder, about to become 90, I have a terrible fear of getting dementia. I can relate entirely to the way Dr. Jauhar’s father felt in his healthier days, but I think Dr. Jauhar is missing something that his father likely felt, which he may not have articulated in his advance directive. That is certainly what underlies my urgency to beseech my children to allow me to die if I get dementia. Carol Landau-MeyersonFloral Park, N.Y.To the Editor:Sandeep Jauhar’s essay should make us think more deeply about assessing quality of life.

☆ Opinion | Learning How to Talk to People With Alzheimer’s
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “When My Father Got Alzheimer’s, I Had to Learn to Lie to Him,” by Sandeep Jauhar (Opinion guest essay, nytimes.com, April 7):Dr. Jauhar shares a valuable lesson that can benefit many dementia caregivers while showing love and compassion to individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Not sharing absolute truths with a family member living with dementia is not about deception. It’s about finding ways to connect that makes sense to the person while keeping them safe, secure and comfortable. Caregivers should be flexible and find ways to communicate with the person that makes sense to them. Meeting the person with Alzheimer’s where they are in the moment is the most compassionate thing a caregiver can do.
