If your Mom has Dementia no Phychiatrist is going to be able to help her. She will not be able to respond to treatment. She is violent. She needs meds to help with that and now time for Long-term care with Medicaid andvher SS footing the bill.

Who is ‘he’? The psychiatrist? Has your mother executed the POA in your favor (signed it, with witnesses etc as per local requirements)? If you only have the form, it’s of no value. If this has been going on for 30 years since your mother was 35, you must have had more doctors than this. Perhaps your M needs a new psych? Perhaps you need to live separately? There must be more to this story, surely?

When it comes to getting physical with no cop help, the only solution is to document to aps that you are leaving. Which you definitely should.
