Physician assisted suicide should be a right given to all people who are suffering from a painful, degenerative, or deadly condition. Anyone who might never enjoy the luxuries of living a happy and healthy life again. Though several ongoing debates are against physician-assisted suicide, ethicists are still not the one who is responsible to make this decision. Patients have the right to free will and human dignity that gives them the right to choose physician assisted suicide. Being able to have this choice allows the patient to maintain some control over their devastating situation.
Numerous professionals within the team are trained in CBT, and use CBT to treat a wide range of issues including self-harm; this is where my interest derives. Through involvement it proved CBT to be efficacious in treating depression and problem solving ability among others thus I have decided to research further into the effectiveness of CBT in the treatment of self-harm. Through research it is evident that self-harming behaviour is frequent among adolescents and young adults and these behaviours are not only challenging on their own but are major risk factors for future suicide (Robinson et al, 2011). “Deliberate self-harm among young people is an important focus of policy and practice internationally. Nonetheless, there is little reliable comparative international information on its extent or characteristics” (Madge et al, 2008:667).

Suicide is a lonely, desperate act, carried out in secrecy and often as a cry for help. The impact on the family who remain can be catastrophic. In some cases, families might have been unaware of the true feelings of their loved one; being forced to confront the issue of their illness may do great good, perhaps even allowing them to persuade the patient not to end their life. In other cases, it makes them part of the process: they can understand the reasons behind their decision without feelings of guilt and recrimination, and the terminally ill patient can speak openly to them about their feelings before their death. At the moment, doctors are often put into an impossible position.
For the purposes of this research paper, several approaches were combined to create a comprehensive plan for suicide intervention. Follow-up treatment is paramount as well as effective services for extended friends and family. Crisis Intervention: Suicide Introduction to Crisis Intervention Crisis intervention is an important aspect of counseling that touches almost every individual in some form or another. While the idea of a crisis tends to conjure up thoughts of panic or extreme distress, crisis situations occur in many forms, some much less obvious than others. The outcome of a crisis may depend on how well an individual copes with such upheaval in their life and whether they are able to garner the support and help they need.
However, what if I told you that instead of feelings of sympathy and pity, in reality, the reaction that most cancer patients want from you is understanding and acceptance. "Patients must feel secure and accepted, regardless of their condition, appearance mood or demands. They need to be reminded that even though they may look dramatically different, they are no less the person they were before the cancer". (Lang 267). However, for young cancer patients this may be even more difficult, most younger people don't accept the various changes and differences that cancer patients go though, they may even began to shun or make fun of the difference between themselves and the person with or living with/after cancer.
Ageism can affect a person psychologically; the three psycolological effects are acceptance, denial and avoidance, according to Dr. Erdman B Palmore. In his book “Ageism.” Acceptance means that victims submit to stereotypes and even go so far as to endorse them. This may cause the elderly to grow apathetic and eventually withdraw from the society. They may also suffer from mental illnesses such as depression, which can lead to suicide. Relative to the above case study, Joana lived alone; she may have been going through a lot in life e.g.
Assisted Suicide People die because of many reasons, but the majority of the time its due to pain. So why not let the pain go away? Assisted suicide is suicide committed with assistance by a different person. There are many factors in which a person might decide to choose assisted suicide; such as suffering from pain, circumstance of death, and depression. Assisted suicide should be legal because it is less expensive, it takes the pain away, and everyone should get a choice in what they do.

If people are having a hard time with life, they should talk to someone about it. Something that you and I could do to help people going through a hard time is to open up more Suicide Anonymous Hotlines. Also if you feel that a friend or family member is being lead down that path, you should talk to them about it, and get them to call into an anonymous hotline and get help. Suicide is preventable, as long as you lead them in the direction of help. Greatly Appreiciated Taylor
