Abstract
This study's findings are relevant for India and Western countries alike while generating legislation including patients' perspectives. A majority of patients favoured PADs. Absent insight, severe psychopathology and incomplete recovery may negatively influence the way PADs are completed. Therefore, clinicians must assess patient's capacity to formulate PADs carefully, as capacity may significantly influence patients' views. The timing of when to formulate one's PAD within the illness process may be essential.
