When I think of someone that is bed ridden, in daily agonizing pain, with a disease who wants to pull the plug, I'm okay with their decision. What is the point in constant suffering? Yet when the pain is not physical but instead mental anguish, many people say that killing one's self is cowardice and selfish. I see no difference between the two except the source of suffering. One is physical and caused by disease or accident and the other is not noticeable from the naked eye because it's a matter of brain chemistry, but it can be just as horrifying to the individual.

Have you known someone that was going thru mental torture (e.g. depression) and killed themselves? Did you agree or disagree with their decision?
 
I had 3 close friends commit suicide
hanging
shotgun blast to the face
and drug overdose...
and the sad thing is NO ONE saw it coming..
we all say If I'd only known but thats the whole issue everything looks ok on the outside but they are going thru hell on the inside

I've been called to so many Jumpers( before and after) over the years in my job ...it doesnt faze me anymore ...which in itself is sad
 
Drug overdose seems to be the most likely way
to die in celebrity suicide. To me the most saddening
case is the death of Austrian actress Romy Schneider.
 
Ive tried it, not really all its cracked up to be
 
Mental health driven suicide is a failure of the victim to deal with the problem and the inadequacy of the psychiatric medicine. With the pro euthanasia push it is important to exclude the mental health as one of the qualifiers.

There is ongoing research about the use of psychedelics helping deal with severe mental issues such as DMT, mushrooms and acid. Maybe if all else fails give these a try under some type of trained supervision. It’s been shown to form new connections and has helped a lot of people.

A lot of trained professionals experiment with controlled doses or micro dossing. However people who take a certain dosage of DMT properly actually experience a body death ego death experience where they totally lose sense of their bodies, identity and purpose and become one with the universe. Maybe something to consider if you think there is nothing left for you in this world maybe it gives you meaning or a different perspective. They say regular DMT is good for spiritual experience however 5MEODMT is the god molecule where you are so far gone that you become nothing and everything at the same time and people say become God like in the sense that we are all connected, we are all one, we are the nothingness, the void, and consciousness is the only truth which doesn’t even exist and which materializes and projects the physical world we see today.
 
I totally agree with assisted suicide. If a person has no quality of life IE in chronic pain and is going to die anyway, this option should be considered. We treat out pets better than we treat people sometimes.
 
Had a friend who gassed himself... He was good looking, well educated something I wish I was based on looks and intelligence but always wondered what was really fucking him from the inside. Parents divorce? the way he was raised?...there are just some circumstances you can't understand...
 
There's no perfect answer with regards to euthanasia in relation to mental health. This is due to several factors.

One, the person tends not to be in the right state of mind to make a decision of this magnitude when they're suffering mental health issues. However, you could also argue that someone in chronic pain is in the same situation.

Two, treatment for mental health is often woefully deficient and I don't think the health industry has any kind of handle on it. People always say "if only they had gotten help" but oftentimes they attempted to and it just simply wasn't effective.

Three, even when treatment IS effective, it usually takes a multi-faceted approach. With many physical ills, medication does the job solo. But with mental health, it can take medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, etc., and pretty much necessitates a certain level of willpower and effort by the patient, an effort that is often beyond their capabilities given their condition.

While ultimately I think a person should ALWAYS have ultimate control over their life, including if they want to end it, I understand why such a position makes many squeamish.

Sadly, too many to count. Did "I" disagree with their decision? Definitely not. But it was not mine to make. It's amazing how something can eat you up inside so badly that you would want to end your life. For some, nothing works and to them, there's no way out but to end their life. It causes loved ones so much pain but I don't think that's the goal.

That's a little harsh. It's not like people can simply snap out of depression.

If it was as easy as making a drug that cures depression, they would've done it already. Finding the right medication is tricky business. Sometimes nothing helps...
