Mental illnesses are physical illnesses. Sometimes suicidality is caused by mental illness, like hearing voices that are so intrusive that you want to die, or major depressive disorder which is treated by modifying physical attributes like serotonin. The voices are connected to dopamine production...which is why treating Parkinson's psychosis is hard because antipsychotics cause the movement stuff to go nuts....

But Santara, if I am diagnosed with one of these neurocognitive disorders, Alzheimers disease, dementia lewy body, frontotemporal disorders, etc, i will do what Robin Williams did and put a bullet through my skull, and that will be a rational decision, and not a result of a mental illness.

Its flipping the on switch off.


I genuinely couldn't imagine a life that was "worth it". It just hasn't been in my brain chemistry once I got to about 12 years old.

Only thing that's kept me alive is having family that would be really sad and pets that would be really sad.

I can't even begin to justify having kids because I can't imagine there's a life that is "better" to the point where existence is worth it, and this is after treatment and a lot of introspection and getting better mental habits etc. etc.

I would genuinely consider an attempt to stop me from killing myself as an act of aggression.

You really wouldnt want to live on for a couple more years to watch your kid grow up, just because your dick got cut off? That's quite extreme...

So you wouldnt consider suicide if you had ALS, Alzheimer's, terminal cancer or anything like that, but would go for it in the "dickless"-scenario; would kill yourself instead of spending the next 20 years with your wife and your little kid in otherwise good health?

If my dick got cut off, I would use it as an opportunity to derail the trans movement.

i guess having a terrible disease i'd consider it. alzheimers especially as i wouldnt want to be a burden to my child.

when i play this out tho its more of me considering what could happen here and now, whereas i dont even factor in things like alzheimers or terminal cancer for silly "it cant happen to me" type ego.

but 20 years with my kid, sure, 20 years as a roommate of sorts in a one sided unfulfilling sexual relationship with my wife and no chance at more children? no thanks, she doesnt deserve that. even 5 years of mourning it better.

Yes, when people are terminally ill.


Every 90 year old is terminally ill, those dna strands are not getting any longer.
My grandfather died at 85, at 88 he was a shell with advanced alzheimers and parkinsons who couldn't get out of bed, my family selfishly made him hang on 3 more years because they couldn't let him go.
I refused to go see him because he didn't recognise me anymore and i couldn't stand to see him in that state.

What about a quadriplegic, someone who's fully paralylized in all four limbs, requires intense support and care and is unable to live with any autonomy? Someone like that isnt terminally ill, but has little to no quality of life.

Would you seriously consider it a mental illness if someone in such a miserable situation concluded that he/she doesnt want to live like that?


My great uncle was made a quadriplegic and lived a happy life for many years.

Alzheimer's is a terminal illness, FYI.

Is it really terminal if you would have died of natural causes long before the disease advanced to a stage that it could kill you?
Not sure.
