A member asked:

Could doctors perceive opioids for people who have really bad mental health problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If that person had significant pain that required opioids, a physician can certainly prescribe them. Most physicians would require that the patient be in psychiatric care and be getting proper treatment for the mental health issues, and that the condition be stable, and might be more cautious in terms of their prescribing - how many pills how often etc.
