Highlight

A petition for involuntary treatment must be supported by clear and convincing evidence.
The trial court's determination of clear and convincing evidence that a person requires treatment is a finding of fact subject to a more probing, clearly erroneous standard of review.
If other evidence presented at a treatment hearing supports the underlying allegations of the petition, the petitioner does not have to be present to testify regarding all the allegations in the petition.
