The main reason why mentally ill people can’t ever improve is because the world still insists on seeing them as someone who should be working first and foremost. All the psychological issues get ignored bc society normally doesn’t give a rats ass about psychological issues. You have to do your job, and if it’s a low-level job, you have to feel bad about not being able to do more ‘important’ shit. And if you’re too mentally ill to work at all, then you have to spend all your time feeling bad about how useless and pathetic you are. The economy makes it impossible for the human psyche to ever recover once it’s damaged, and it also does damage the psyche all on its own even if the person has had a blessed life otherwise.

here in Canada assisted suicide due to mental health is now a thing, because hey if you cant get over your shit and contribute to society, might as well off yourself. its like a fucking southpark episode.

Someone was granted MAID because they are no longer able to work and are afraid of becoming homeless. I'm all for MAID but not like this.

WTF ?

Can't kill off your homeless population directly because that would look bad ? Convince the soon to be homeless to kill themselves with assistance from the state.

This is the worst thing i've read in a long time and i'm here on reddit, reading american bullshit all day long like the rest of you.

They offered MAID to a disabled woman requesting a stair lift in her home.

Euthanasia is now a leading cause of death in Canada.

I saw a Canadian ad for euthanasia services the other day and was appalled in a way I haven't been in quite a while. By far the most dystopian thing I have seen thus far in my life.
