But W.V. believes his daughter "is vulnerable and is not competent to make the decision to take her own life," according to Feasby's summary of the father's position.

"He says that she is generally healthy and believes that her physical symptoms, to the extent that she has any, result from undiagnosed psychological conditions."

Her only known diagnoses described in court earlier this month are autism and ADHD.

Dude. There is this thing called "treatment-resistant depression" that medicine still can't find any way to help. A diagnosis of "depression" doesn't mean that anything can be done.

Chances are good this woman has already been through treatment and psychiatric evaluation to get her existing diagnoses.

This is pretty much what I'm dealing with. All the medicine I've tried just makes me a zombie and that's even worse. With those meds all I wanted to do is sleep because of the depression and all my body wants to do is sleep because of the medicine... So not only did it not work, it made life more difficult.
