    In re Jones , 285 Ill. App. 3d 8, 12, 220 Ill.Dec. 559, 673 N.E.2d 703 (1996) ("in the present case, our inquiry is whether [the respondent] clearly proved that her desire to refuse psychotropic medication was competently made"). ¶ 69 We reject appellees’ contention that we held otherwise in In re Jennice L. , 2021 IL App (1st) 200407, 460 Ill.Dec. 239, 200 N.E.3d 787. In Jennice L. , the court said that "it is the requirements of the Mental Health Code and not a ‘best interest’ standard that should guide a court's analysis with respect to a petition to involuntarily administer psychotropic medication and treatment."
