Interviewer instructions
MS6a. Do you have permanent mental limitations that make it difficult to relate with others?

This refers to people who have difficulty relating conventionally with others. They have difficulties controlling emotions and impulses and the verbally or physically aggressive manifestations with the interactions with others. These are people with alterations of the mental functions related with thought, memory, language, etc. For example: people who are psychosis carriers, autism, dementia, and other senile dementia including Alzheimer's etc.

Examples of question MS6a:

Susana had a problem at work, she believed that her workmates wanted to harm her and she was hearing "things". She was admitted, took psychiatric medicine, was reintegrated at work and didn't have difficulties. This corresponds to option "2".
It is hard for Juan to understand, he leaves suddenly, loses his memory. He forgets the name of things of daily use, for example, bread, key, etc. This corresponds to option "1".
