What could be a potential outcome if Mr. Baker continues to reject medication?

If Mr. Baker continues to reject medication, one potential outcome is an increased risk of hospitalization. When individuals with mental health conditions refuse or stop taking their prescribed medications, they may experience worsening symptoms such as severe mood swings, increased anxiety, or psychotic episodes. This deterioration in mental health can lead to situations where hospitalization becomes necessary for stabilization and safety, both for the individual and those around them. Effective management of many psychiatric conditions heavily relies on adherence to medication regimens, making this a critical issue.

In contrast, improved mental health, enhanced relationships with family, and better coping mechanisms are typically outcomes associated with proper medication management and treatment compliance, rather than rejection of medication.
