If you've never experienced severe depression or anxiety I'm sure it does sound fucked up. I had that shit for 6 months and was almost ready to off myself. I can't imagine having it for years or even decades.

People should be helped, of course. They should be given time off work, free access to therapy, anti-depressants, love and support. I'm very glad I'm still alive now, but I was lucky enough to have access to all of the above.

If society won't provide those things, then the absolute minimum it can do is let people who want to go, go. Otherwise you're just enforcing suffering on people.

People being able to have control over their life ends is fucked up.. Well ok then.
