Depends. If you're not in the right mindset to make choices yourself then yes unless when you was in your right mind you actually stated you don't want them. If you are in your right mind then it should be your own choice. Not everyone wants that route.

I probably should be on medication but have decided to not bother. I certainly would hate to be forced to take medication that simply isn't doing what it should and hinders my life more than improves it.

It's not right to force somebody to do something they don't want when it doesn't effect anybody else. If it effects society then you should offer them the opportunity to leave society.

I fundamentally disagree with encroaching on someone's right to refuse treatment. The best example I can think of is forcing homosexual people to have shock therapy in the 20th century.

Most famous example was how the British government treated Alan Turing, one of the greatest minds of our time.

When I was a kid my dad took me to a psych ward because I was playing with matches. They locked me up there for three months because I wouldn't take my anti depressants.

10 years later I'm still not taking medication, I'm not an arsonist, and I'm not dead. Crazy how that works out.

Reminds me of when I helped my brother medicate my then, 3/yo niece with ear drops. I helped hold her down; She was resisting with all her toddler might because she didn't like it.

Depends. Obviously yes if it's a parole condition for somebody who committed a serious crime. However, it's more of a gray area when it comes to functionality, self-harm, etc, since those kinds of meds often carry unpleasant side-effects. They should be at least be compelled to take meds early on so they can be of a rational mind to not seek further treatment, but I'm not sure past that. After all, our laws regarding self-harm prevention in this nation are exceptionally weak, considering that alcohol, cigarettes, etc, are all legal and widely available.
