You can't make a teen take meds if they don't want to. Can her meds be done by shot? If the child is dangerous or suicidal off the meds, take her to the hospital or call the police. Keep a log of refusals to share with psychiatrists. What does the doc say you should do about this? That question shouldn't be against privacy laws. Does he want you to call his emergency line everytime?(I'm sure he think of a better solution).
Unfortunately, all you can really do is let her/him deal with the consequences-hospital, jail. If her/his behavior is placing others in danger, she/he needs to be in a hospital or treatment center that can monitor his/her meds. If she/he is threatening suicide, call 911.
