Ethical Challenges in Dealing with Psychotic Disorders
Marko Ćurković
Petrana Brečić
Sažetak
The ethical challenges that arise from caring for people suffering from psychotic disorders are numerous, manifold, and diverse. Their complexity in this sense reflects the complexity of psychotic disturbances and disorders themselves, that is, the complexity of their underlying causes, the complexity of their appearance, and the complexity of the social (including the health system) responses they provoke and invoke. Through this manuscript, some of these challenges are presented with an emphasis on substantial differences in the challenges that emerge within efforts to prevent psychotic disorders, that is, to prevent their unfavourable course; within efforts to treat psychotic disorders and, finally, within efforts to foster and facilitate the recovery of persons suffering from psychotic disturbances and disorders. These challenges are approached and addressed in this paper through the prism of basic bioethical principles: beneficence, non-maleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice.
