Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Dr. van Veen, your current research focuses on the intersection between psychiatry and death. You study suicide prevention, assisted death for psychiatric suffering, advanced care planning by patients with a psychiatric disorder and psychiatric complaints in terminally ill patients.
Based on your research that has studied suicide prevention, medically assisted death and psychiatric suffering, in your opinion as an expert in this area, what is the relationship between suicide prevention and medically assisted death for people with mental health illnesses?
