Temporal patterns and individual characteristics of compulsory treatment orders for mental disorders in Scotland from 2007 to 2020
There has been a marked rise of community-based compulsory treatment orders in Scotland. If existing trends continue, there will be more people receiving care under community-based orders than hospital-based orders, fundamentally changing the nature of involuntary treatment. Further work needs to explore associations between demographic and diagnostic characteristics on order duration.
