Smith's mental health issues began in his teenage years, and he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Despite taking multiple medications, his condition did not improve. Further details about his story and the treatment program are available from KCBD News.
The case highlights the challenges of addressing mental health crises when individuals cannot be legally forced to seek help. More information about Smith's experience and the court-ordered treatment program can be found through KCBD News in Lubbock, Texas.
