Assessement of Capacity to Consent

NCT04740463 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Any patient can request euthanasia in many of our neighbouring European countries as long as informed consent is given. Psychiatric evaluation is not always mandatory.

Faced with the increasing emergence of euthanasia requests in different countries from patients under psychiatric care in France for severe depressive episodes, question arises of a possible alteration in the capacity to give consent in the context of a severe depressive episode.

This is a Social and Human Sciences study which does not aim to modify the usual management of patients.
