    • 2024 May 16, Harriet Sherwood, quoting Zoraya ter Beek, “Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering”, in The Guardian[1], →ISSN:
      I finished ECT in August 2020, and after a period of accepting there was no more treatment, I applied for assisted dying in December that year. It’s a long and complicated process. It’s not like you ask for assisted dying on a Monday and you’re dead by Friday.
