That's an important question and a difficult one to answer, because the law has not yet changed. That said, I think of the patients I see overall. I work with a population of highly treatment-resistant patients with OCD who get sent to our tertiary care centre. Most of them have other comorbid illnesses like depression that is also severe. Some of them have talked with me about MAID for sole mental illness, and I follow a few who ultimately would like to proceed.
I'd say the percentage who would likely be eligible is relatively small, of those I follow at this time who would like to proceed with MAID. But I would also say that the percentage of patients with severe psychiatric illness who ultimately would want to even be assessed for MAID is very small, and the percentage of people who have irremediable conditions is small.
I can't give you a number, but I would say that the majority of people who would apply would probably not be eligible, based on what I'm seeing the applications might look like.
