Why not? Its your life. Some people say commiting suicide is selfish. I don't. What is selfish is when another individual demands that you stay alive, despite severe suffering, in order to keep the other individual happy.
I think its all about prognosis. If the disease is chronic and unremitting despite years or decades of continual and optimal treatment why stay alive?
Hope for future meds? What, wait a few decades for them to release another monoamine reuptake inhibitor?
P.S. I am safe, so don't panic.
