PC states they want a Mental Health Directive. I reviewed the form set out in RCW 73.32.260. I have never seen this form before. Have any of you used it? I am at a loss how to advise a client to check the boxes, such as authorizing medications for psychiatric treatment, even shock treatment. Clearly, a person would have to be of sound mind to sign such a document. It seems this directive should be filled out with the advise of the client’s mental health care provider.
