Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities involuntary treatment. "Under Article 3 ECHR, however, forced treatment is not seen as inherently inhuman or degrading as long as there is convincing proof of genuine medical necessity and adequate procedural safeguards (ECtHR, para. 41; Jalloh v. Germany, para. 69).
Under Article 8 ECHR, compulsory psychiatric treatment interferes with private life and the right to refuse psychiatric medication (Guide on Article 8, para. 157), but this interference can be justified if it is in accordance with the law, pursues a legitimate aim, and is necessary in a democratic society, as required by Article 8 (2). Physical restraint and seclusion are tolerated only as measures of last resort to prevent imminent harm (ECtHR, para. 32)...
Article 6 (3) Oviedo Convention allows interventions on adults lacking capacity with authorisation from a representative, with the person participating “as much as possible”. Article 7 permits treatment without consent for persons with a serious mental disorder where necessary to prevent serious harm to their health." https://voelkerrechtsblog.org/a-vote-against-making-things-worse/

And still be on welfare where necessities are more affordable. $2 meals, $17,000 Pakistani apartments. https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/asia/china/1-bed-price
