Article L3211-2 of the French Public Health Code

A person undergoing psychiatric care with their consent for mental disorders is said to be in free psychiatric care. They have the same rights to exercise individual freedoms as those granted to patients being treated for any other reason.

This type of care is preferred when the patient’s condition permits.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L3211-2

Une personne faisant l’objet de soins psychiatriques avec son consentement pour des troubles mentaux est dite en soins psychiatriques libres. Elle dispose des mêmes droits liés à l’exercice des libertés individuelles que ceux qui sont reconnus aux malades soignés pour une autre cause.

Cette modalité de soins est privilégiée lorsque l’état de la personne le permet.
