I’ve been reading and there is not a lot of information on euthanasia for people with mental illness, but the ones that appeared had personality disorders. Physiscians take under consideration somatic symptoms when deciding if a patient would be a suitable candidate for EAS. However, just as a terminal cancer can hurt and lower the life quality of a person, so can being suicidal and having emotional pain. There may be moments of happiness but that person is still sick, still in pain, and still wanting to die. I think that with careful evaluation of all possible tratment and not seeing significant betterment the person is under constant pain and should be able to terminate their pain on their own terms. I have had multiple medications and procedures to try to reduce my emotional pain and it works for a while but then it comes back worse. I tired of feeling this merry go around. I think I think cases of people with mental illness who want EAS should be taken seriously. We can’t bare the pain anymore.
