I think that's why in 2025 the American Psychiatric Association had a position paper on this issue, and the International Academy of Suicide Research.
Legally, Canada is one of the outliers among countries that allow MAID, with people having to only consider treatment options rather than go through them. That is a big difference that has already been an issue in Canada, but if you allow that for MAID for mental illness, it goes back to differentiating MAID from suicide and mental disorders.
Again, consensus on this topic is not there, and the international guidelines really do not support it.
