Bioethical conflicts in the patient with mental health problems
Keywords:
mental health, bioethical principles, legislation
Abstract
The present brief communication, intends to open the debate in our environment, about bioethical principles in patients with serious mental health problems who are not able to discern their decisions.
From a clinical case and its evolution we will analyze the medical and bioethical scopes, and their implication in the clinical exercise by those who work in mental health teams.
We will try to give a couple of conclusions that allow us to address the issue, in a society where mental health is still a taboo.
