The reason I put the NPOV tag on this article is because this seems entirely biased and one-sided. The article is overwhelmingly against ANY chemical restraint use, which is not reflective of medical opinion on the matter. It seems to go so far as to suggest it is not an accepted procedure, despite the fact that it has many indications for it's use (
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/109717). It also seems to suggest that it is unacceptably more dangerous than physical restraint alone, which has been shown not to be the case (
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23360650). This article has even gone so far as to leave out key portions of source information that changes the implication of the text not consistent with the original context, such as "...individuals have the right to be free from physical or chemical restraints imposed for purposes of discipline or convenience and not required to treat the resident’s medical symptoms" [Emphasis Mine] I will attempt to rewrite this article when I have the time to bring it into line with the current medicolegal aspects of chemical restraints as well as attempt to explain any underlying cause for controversy. If someone wants to take a crack at it in the meanwhile, have at it.

Point of view is crucial to this article. A doctor would argue the patient is "psychotic" and needs "antipsychotics" when both words "psychotic" and "antipsychotic" are figurative. There is no psychotic molecule, virus or bacteria in physical actuality, in the patient. Psychotic is an euphemism for being angry and stupid at the same time, that is all.-- Mark v1.0 ( talk) 14:13, 2 June 2013 (UTC)edited-- Mark v1.0 ( talk) 13:35, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Locally a news release today (7 Feb 2018) details a dramatic encounter with an uncooperative and possibly drugged out individual who was first physically restrained and then administered "chemical restraints". Olympia fire, medic and police personnel were all part of the encounter. After medics administered the unidentified drug(s) the individual stopped breathing and died. [1] This is to highlight that chemical restraints are used outside of medical facilities including in law enforcement. I expect that this will lead to news, citizen, and political discussion about how frequently this is done -- the neighborhood discussion pages are very fired up. The article will need to be updated to discuss CR in law enforcement. GeeBee60 ( talk) 09:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi!
I plan to add info regarding the recent controversy around chemical restraint. I noticed another wikipedian mentioned this issue, and I think adding more information on the topic is necessary. Feel free to go to my sandbox for info on how I plan to add to the article, as well as some of the references I plan to use. MCJones20 ( talk) 03:38, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
