Sobering. <br /><br />Having been treated for severe depression / affective disorder I have never quite been sure whether it (my consideration of suicide) is just depression or a rational decision based upon my assessment of my life and future. <br /><br />Obviously suicide is ultimately a choice and is inextricably linked to mental illness in many cases but maybe it can just be a rational choice to end pain. And why not. <br /><br />Sorry, you don't normally get these kind of posts, but it was a thought-provoking topic. <br /><br />I wish there was more out there about suicide - in a non-provocative manner - people shy away from it too much, even MH practitioners. <br /><br />There are lots of arguments for and against and a vast topic. <br /><br />But a very thought provoking post.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300405783888547606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-90990542156110503132010-06-20T13:01:14.632+01:002010-06-20T13:01:14.632+01:00It's reading your blog over the years which ha...It's reading your blog over the years which has made me confident that when a patient is not sufferring from an impairing axis 1 disorder, or a cognitive deficiency, I not only can but <i>should</i> allow them to make their own (bad) decisions.
