Advance Directives and<br />
mental health <strong>treatment</strong><br />
The scope <strong>of</strong> ADs, however, vary state by state<br />
Prior to 2009, Oregon limited the health care<br />
representative’s authority to consent to the following<br />
<strong>treatment</strong>s (ORS 125.540):<br />
1) Admission to or retention in a health care facility for care or<br />
<strong>treatment</strong> <strong>of</strong> mental illness<br />
2) Convulsive <strong>treatment</strong><br />
3) Psychosurgery<br />
4) Sterilization<br />
5) Abortion<br />
Thus, ADs did not allow for psychiatric care via proxy<br />
decision maker.
