The problem with microchip delivered medication is that a large number of large states (including NY) have laws in the books which allow for coercive and/or involuntary psychiatric treatment. For the coerced or involuntarily treated patient, non-compliance is the only way out of a nightmare that some have described as "chemical lobotomization". (Anti-psychotics, neuroleptics, mood stabilizers and anti-depressants ALL interfere with and modify "normal" brain functioning and are quite possibly brain damaging over the long term. There is no medical literature that asserts a strictly biological etiology for all mental illness.)
Whether it's a benefit to voluntary and/or non-psychiatric patients or not, microchip medical delivery would better ensure that the state has even more power over those they decide are mentally ill.
