Not only must you establish injury, but you must show that the doctor's actions fell below the generally prevailing standard of care. It is very difficult in most cases to establish that a psychiatrist's decisions were not objectively reasonable, especially if you have any history of non-compliance and the doctor is acting out of caution.
Are you having an open discussion with your doc on this issue?
