Allowing euthanasia for mental suffering is problematic | Letters
Briefly

Euthanasia for mental health problems suggests a conflict between the policy of suicide prevention and a policy of suicide promotion, contradicting the ethos of a caring society.
The eligibility criteria for assisted suicide and euthanasia are expanding to include those lacking decision-making capacity, children, and individuals with mental suffering.
The hopelessness of individuals with depression can make their suffering unbearable, but clinicians must provide hope rather than opting for euthanasia.
