Mental Health Advanced Directive is a document that allows the consumer
to make their choices known regarding mental health treatment in the
event that their mental illness makes them unable to make
decisions. In effect, they are making decisions about treatment
before the time that they will need it. This allows them to make more
informed decisionsand to make their wishes clearly known. A
new law was passed in Pennsylvania, effective January 28, 2005, that
makes it possible for the consumer to use a Mental Health Advance
Directive.
