It is fillowed according to mental health act.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your concern about the treatment of mentally ill patients.
I would say that it is all done according to the chapters approved in mental health act.
Any professional psychiatrist can not take his individual decisions in treating the mentally ill.
They have to follow according to the norms and rules mentioned in mental health act.
So, there is nothing in their own personal interest.
Hope this information clears your concern.
