assisted suicide vs suicide prevention

[WinterHold]

Just for the record: some diseases (like M.S) destroy the neorons responsible for the transmitting of mood signals in the brain; thus causing depression.
It is experienced by MS patients; that's why they take anti-deppressants too with their medications to counter the effect.. Neurons never get replaced; unlike normal cells.

DMTs for example are well known to cause depression as a side effect. So taking examples other than MS, the condition has organic origins too.

MK's responses in this thread are another reason I hate how religion distorts reality. But this isn't just Islam, but religion worldwide. Superstition and deity belief lead the follower to buy very horrible stories that are nothing but fiction. It is why sick crap like the Salem Witch Hunts happened. It is why con artists like Benny Hinn get away with ripping off gullible followers. But the worst part is that can make worse mental illness with beliefs like demons and evil spirits and cause the mentally ill to harm themselves and or others. 

There are no evil spirits manipulating the neurons in one's brain. There are only natural psychological and electro/chemical functions that can be out of whack because of family genes, environmental conditions, possible abuse, addictions, neurological. BUT there is no fictional villain pulling our strings. 

The real help for mental illness are psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and neurology, and even mere support groups and family and friends who accept it as natural causes without religion or superstitions.

I think religious rituals and the belief in God can do gigantic transitions in the mental state of the patient.

The author has M.S and heart disease, quoting her:

However, believing in God strengthens me, gives me hope today and beyond, and fortifies my purpose here on earth.

Our bodies are not perfect. They are made to suffer, and according to the Quran this is what humans would suffer from outside of paradise:

Sura 20, The Quran:
Sahih International

(118) Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.
(119) And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

.
.
.
(123) [ Allah ] said, "Descend from Paradise - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].

Outside of paradise, we become hungry, we become unclothed and thirsty, sick, tired, we die, we decay.
In other words; according to my belief this is the nature of earth, this is the will of God, and there is a place where non of these sicknesses will even exist anymore.

But being outside of paradise is deadly to us. So it's better for us to make our quality of life better, make it better on the sick too, our bodies are weak.
