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.
