That is in case they go through with amputating a healthy limb. 

 

 

 

This condition affects a small percentage of the population and is commonly manifested by a desire to have an amputation of a specific body part. In most cases, the limb that the person would like to remove is actually in healthy working order and there are no physical problems with it. Source.

 

 

There's a case of a woman who blinded herself with drain cleaner (with the help of a psychologist :omg:  :omg:), for example.

No. I think it would just enable and give them confirmation bias of their desire that they are "meant" to be disabled in some way. I think rather, there should be universal healthcare which allows these sorts of people (and others) to get the proper psychological intervention necessary before they go to such extremes.
