A PAD generally permits you to plan for, consent to, or refuse future treatment, such as:
hospital admission
administration of medication
electroconvulsive treatment (ECT)
A PAD permits you to make these decisions in advance, anticipating that you may experience crisis at some future time when you will not be able to make decisions or communicate your wishes about treatment.
