    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

I am 19 and living in a country that is a part of the European Union. I'm looking into euthanasia for mental health reasons. I don't know if I qualify but I'm looking for actual sites or resources that explain the whole process and where and how to apply. I've been searching for a while but can only find articles/sites ABOUT it but nothing actually helping you apply. In my country euthanasia is not available.

It is really unlikely that they will take you into consideration because of your age.

Is euthanasia available to foreign nationals living in the Netherlands?
Euthanasia in the Netherlands is not a service that can be accessed by travelling there specifically for that purpose. The legislation requires the attending physician to possess detailed knowledge of the patient's medical history and circumstances, enabling a thorough and multifaceted assessment that takes place over a period of time. Foreign nationals who are formally registered with a Dutch GP, have established an ongoing medical relationship, and are habitually resident in the Netherlands may raise the subject with their doctor, but access is not guaranteed and the process cannot be completed quickly or informally. Dutch government guidance makes clear that euthanasia is the concluding stage of an existing care relationship, not a standalone procedure that can be arranged on request.

From: https://expertisecentrumeuthanasie.nl/presentaties/
Expertisecentrum Euthanasie counsels and supports physicians who are helping patients with a request for euthanasia and gives care to patients who, for whatever reason, cannot be helped by their own physician. Careful and caring.
Please be aware that we only accept applications from people who have a Dutch residential address, are registered with a general practitioner based in the Netherlands, have Dutch health insurance and have a good command of the Dutch and/or English language.

Legal requirements

We work according to the requirements of the Dutch Euthanasia Act. This means that our physician:

  • has to be convinced that the request has been done voluntary and well-considered
  • has to be convinced that the patient is suffering unbearably and has no chance of recovery
  • has informed the patient about his or her situation and perspective
  • has reached the conviction together with the patient that for this particular situation there is no other reasonable solution
  • has consulted at least one other independent physician, who saw and interviewed the patient and has given his or her opinion in writing on the above requirements.
  • will perform the euthanasia or help with assisted dying with medical care
We provide euthanasia care exclusively in the patient's home or healthcare institution. We do not see or treat patients at our office.
