Potentially dangerous paranoid schizophrenics go off their medication (or never use it in the first place) all the time and nothing happens. Absent a specific threat to the safety of themselves or others the government has decided that situation does not justify breaching the patient's privacy.

Of course we can change the laws but that can create another set of issues. The new rules could reasonably be expected to act as a deterrent for some with mental health issues to seek or continue treatment. One situation that is easily predictable is not only does a patient stop using medication, they stop going to the doctor first to avoid getting reported.
