Long-term mental health issues and Assisted dying option

MaxPayneXL

I am under treatment for Long-term mental health issues for around 20 years (Schizophrenia + Severe Memory Loss + Depression + Suicidal thoughts). Since there is no improvement in my illness which is getting worse day by day, after all the treatments, I am losing all hope of a recovery or to lead a good quality of life. I am now thinking about the Assisted Dying option from Dignitas etc. I know this is currently not legal in Ireland.

May I know of any financial implications of this for my family (wife and children)? I have a mortgage.

I'm not sure this is the right forum as I understand it currently suicide is not covered in the absolute majority of insurance policies, I'll get a link to the legal forum and also look up your local citizens information and GP if not done so already

Long-term mental health struggles can feel unbearably heavy, and it’s heartbreaking when someone reaches a point where they see no way forward. While I can’t speak to the ethics or policies around assisted dying, what I do know is this: your pain is valid, your exhaustion is understandable, and there are people who want to sit with you in this darkness—whether that’s through therapy, medication adjustments, or just bearing witness. I recently came across BetterMe resources, which include guided crisis coping tools and community support features. They’re not a solution, but sometimes having one more place to turn makes the weight slightly easier to carry.
