    The problem is, when is enough, enough?

    Should someone suffer in hell for 10 years? 25 years? 59 years without any relief?

    Medication doesn’t work for everyone, and they come with side effects which can exacerbate mental illness.

    Cognitive therapy doesn’t work for everyone either.

    It’s easy for them to say “who has not had the opportunity”, but that sounds like arrogance. As if everyone with mental illness can be successfully treated.

    People considering maid aren’t just feeling under the weather, their existence is suffering to a level that these doctors could never imagine.

    It’s selfish to the extreme, and extreme in its cruelty, to force someone to suffer. Or worse, to force them to take an undignified exit from this world alone.

    Shame on these doctors.
