The superior court must determine competence to refuse treatment by clear and convincing evidence, "so clear as to leave no substantial doubt, [and] sufficiently strong to command the unhesitating assent of every reasonable mind." (Conservatorship of Waltz (1986) 180 Cal.App.3d 722, 733 & fn. 14.) An order authorizing involuntary administration of antipsychotic medication is reviewed for substantial evidence. (People v.
