Contemplates, from a judicial perspective, whether the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 is a help or a hindrance in the treatment of young people. Considers the questions : is compulsory care actually beneficial for a young person with mental illness?; can all young people who need to access help, obtain assistance?; and does the Act provide a help or a hindrance when dealing with young people with mental health disorders?
