There are two parts to your question.
The first part of your question pertains to persons eligible for medical assistance in dying who have a specific illness and who have been suffering from psychological problems of some kind. In Quebec, these patients must be evaluated by a psychologist and/or a psychiatrist. We completely agree with this requirement and it seems essential to us. The second part of your question pertains to patients with a primary psychiatric disorder. It is still too early to talk about medical assistance in dying for patients with a primary psychiatric disorder.
Society and the medical profession alike must examine this issue much more thoroughly before taking a position. Most psychiatrists are uncomfortable with this even though psychiatric patients are human beings like anyone else.
There is a problem with the diagnosis of psychiatric illnesses, which can vary from one psychiatrist to another, and above all in the prognosis for psychiatric illnesses. This is why we think minors and patients with a primary psychiatric pathology should be excluded from the legislation for the time being. This requires further consideration, in society and in the medical profession alike.
