A Canadian actress and comedian is seeking a medically assisted suicide after a long-term battle with several crippling mental health issues, according to reports.

Claire Brosseau, 48, is suing for the right to die through Canada’s Medical Aid in Dying program after struggling with manic depression, anxiety disorder, substance abuse disorder, chronic suicidal ideation and a plethora of other mental illnesses since her childhood, she detailed to the New York Times.

Brosseau, a Montreal-born actress who appeared in dozens of movies, revealed she has attempted suicide several times and has been under the care of a slew of different psychiatrists and counselors across America in an open letter posted to her Substack last year.

So, they should execute people for mental illness now? If they won't even give effective treatment?

They still use the term manic depression in Canada?

The White folks love the suicide. Everybody else- not so much

She will be an excellent organ donor, because that’s the reason for MAID.

several crippling mental health issues

So no longer when a doctor gives you less than 6 months to live. Now you can get it just because you perceived you had a bad day.

[HYPOCRACY]

Well she did try suicide several times without success. She should consult ChatGTP it has helped others kill themself.

But only the government elite and large donors get first dibs.

“Claire Brosseau, 48, is suing for the right to die after struggling with manic depression, anxiety disorder, substance abuse disorder, chronic suicidal ideation and a plethora of other mental illnesses since her childhood, she detailed to the New York Times.” I wonder if she would like to get married and has good life insurance?

Not the same woman Glenn Beck was trying to hepl.

[alternatives?]

More than one?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Kill yourself or take the proper meds? 🙄

[hinckley buzzard]

This is also an option in some European countries. And let’s face it, Canada is a Eurozone country now, misplaced in the Americas.

"She has tried over two dozen medications, several types of behavioral, talk, and art therapies, and electroconvulsive therapy over the years — but has experienced little reprieve from the anguish of her mental illnesses, Brosseau recalled."

I guess I'm not surprised that we don't see Hardy Nutritionals micro-nutrients on that list. But she lives in Canada, where Hardy Nutritionals originated! Maybe she lives under a rock. If you know her ...

It's the best vitamin made in North America. No, I don't work for them. But I've seen their DENS combined with spirulina and chlorella work wonders in people.

Nancy Mace.

She feels bad. She can’t stop voting democrat.

[nickcarraway]

Canada, so not Democrat.

[StormEye]

I'm sure she can find a high enough bridge somewhere
in Canada to fling herself from. No need for the
attention seeking public/legal drama. Just do it.
