Depression can lead to irrational and rational suicide attempts. It's all fine when your depression can get treated. But when you have severe depression where all treatment fails, how is that different from other diseases that cause suffering that cannot be relieved?
- AstralStorm 4y agoThe thing about certain mental health issues is that they can get better with actual long term therapy. I do not believe this happened here, the girl was treated at most 6 years. Describing it as 6 years of anguish is uncharitable to people who survived mental health problems for decades, and even manage to live with them. It can take years to find out that a certain therapy even works... And here we have people hastily resorting to big red button, even after messing up previous suicide attempts. I would not call it euthanasia, it's suicide by doctor. (In parallel with suicide by cop.)
