One psychiatrist has deemed eating disorders and depression to be worthy of “a grievous and irremediable medical condition” qualifying someone for MAiD.
At a Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (AMAD) in late March, Dr. Mona Gupta, a psychiatrist and professor at the University of Montreal, was asked by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton whether an eating disorder or depression would qualify.
“It depends on the circumstances of the person,” Gupta stated at first.
