Introduction
Reflection on the impact of this law on people with a Mental health disorder is required. It is a complex issue, in which it must be considered that these disorders are very prevalent, can greatly affect the quality of life and are often resistant to treatment.
Objectives
Explore the first request of this type and review aspects to consider in patients with mental health disorders.
Methods
Collection of data from the first patient who requests it and review related aspects.
Results
This is a patient with a personality disorder who presents significant suffering, in a chronic context, but at the same time makes the request in a moment of crisis as an impulsive gesture.
Conclusions
Pending evolution, we consider that it is difficult to assess compliance with the requirements of the law in patients of this type and we recommend caution.
Disclosure
No significant relationships.
