The aim in though this review is: 1. Reflect on the protection of the rights and the consequences of stigma in the recovery process of persons suffering from a mental disorder. 2. Consider some aspects related to capacity, informed consent and the Psichiatric Advance Directives. 3. Bring up elements for discussion on involuntary outpatient treatment and possible alternatives.
