I recall once hearing about a controversial take in regards to mental health treatment, specifically suicidal ideation. Someone proposed that having a readily available method would be comforting to an individual. For example, knowing you could die anytime may make them happier, more productive, more care free, etc.
Now this would be a possibly risky form of mental help, a kind of a last stand as of course they could just die any time they want and out of impulsivity or sudden extreme shifts in mood.
This method of "treatment" would require very specific circumstances as well, not exactly a one size fits all kind of deal and maybe not even a real treatment in a technical sense.
It may even make suicidal ideation stronger if the individual is already at an extreme edge.
This proposition could also be applied to voluntary euthanasia, maybe that would make the world happier. Those who desire to leave can leave, those who are okay and want to stay can stay.
What do you think?
