Rising Assisted Suicide Requests Among Post-Covid PatientsUp to 1.5 million Germans suffer from Post-Covid; five assisted suicides occurred within the last year due to severe cases.
- The German Society for Humane Dying reports increased assisted suicide requests from severely ill Post-Covid and ME/CFS patients, including those under 30.
- ME/CFS, frequently triggered by viral infections like COVID-19, can worsen to a state where patients remain bedridden in darkness and unable to care for themselves.
- Within a year, five assisted suicides were facilitated by the DGHS, with additional applications pending, emphasizing the need for better awareness and care.
- Significant gaps exist in recognizing and treating the illness, as patients are often mistakenly labeled as mentally ill and inadequately supported.
