I'm honestly a little surprised by the responses so far, given this is a site for those with these disorders that don't actually exist, these dysfunctions that aren't really problem.

First, I'm sorry for your loss.
Yet, allowing psychologically-driven suicides to happen troubles me. Each one strikes me as a needless loss, and not necessarily that the person should have been on drugs. And yet I support the right to die with regard to physical degeneration and disease, something irreversible...I don't know what I'm missing, or not getting.
