They are very very strict, they rejected me and my story is awful
His family ruined it for everyone by protesting in the media.
But was depression or mental illness the reason for the British person they authorized ?? Sorry, I didn't read that anywhere and I even thought the British person was finally refused.
Ok, donc ça n'a rien à voir avec la dépression ou la maladie mentale. Merci.
In fact, I don't understand why OP still want that members here believe that Pegasos will be an option for people with depression or mental illness. It' just wrong.
I received the following simple reply and was not happy about it:
"Thank you for your email and interest in Pegasos.
As a relatively young person, we are sorry but we are unable to help you at Pegasos.
We strongly encourage you to seek further counselling and assistance options elsewhere."
"Thank you for your email and interest in Pegasos.

I am in my 30s. So I am neither 20, which maybe I could understand being too young for them, but sadly nor older than 50, which I heard is this age often taken as an opening gate for access to similar services (or maybe that applies for the Exit International only).
I emailed them and they asked for a description of myself, background and medical history. Said my main condition was generally supported but would beed psych assessment and medical notes. I'm trying to get those not easy to find something concrete, as we've discussed many conditions dont show up in tests.
Is the psychological evaluation done by Pegasus or do you have to bring it from your country of origin?
I wrote 4 years ago when I was 39 and they said that I could have been eligible for assisted death, given my condition. But I should have made a paid application and submit the medical documents to have a personal assessment
However, I also think their website changed recently, including some of the answers for some of the FAQs. One example is that I think they previously claimed not to be accepting young people with mental illnesses, but now they say something along the lines of "every individual case is different", so it seems as if there was less of a flat "no" in their tone of voice this time. Maybe they are really becoming more benevolent, after all!
a proven legal age adult should have every right to exercise assisted suicide without proof of terminal illness or even ANY illness.
these assisted suicide places are gatekeeping and grifting. absolute scum organizations whose supposed 'ethics' you should undoubtedly ignore
"hello, I am X years of age and would like to expire." "yes we will make accomodations for you"
simple.

So there was no guarantee that you would be approved and you could lose €1500? I'm sorry you've been suffering for 4 years or do I understand that you've improved?
From my experience, they will give you sort of a preliminary assessment (a provisional provisional green light), but at some point you still need to submit medical records - if you look at the application process. The medical records are to support your initial inquiry and what your complaints are. I'm glad to hear they are prompt in responding, as I suspect they've been busy!

€16,000 is a real robbery and pure insolence, because the real costs can't even theoretically exceed €1,000-2,000. A particular insolence is the fact that part of the funds are not returned after a possible rejection of the request. I cannot escape the impression that this is pure extortion and abuse. difficult situations of people who want CTB. Probably no one plans CTB because they are bored, but because of some unbearable suffering due to any cause. For many who are facing CTB, it is difficult (impossible) to allocate a few hundred € for SN and not this amount. Insolence and robbery!
true, no guarantee. They only told me that cases like mine are usually accepted and if he thought that I would have no chances he would have told it immediately. But I should have applied to have my medical records checked. I suppose that they are evaluated by a doctor or psychologist.
After then I went to a doctor that allowed me to get medical drugs, which I now take since 4 years. The situation was a bit more tolerable and seemed to improve, but now it seems to be getting bad again (so that's why I'm back to this group). On top of that there is the risk that the medical drugs are destroying my kidneys.
My doctor of 4 years ago was willing to write a medical report if my condition didn't improve. But the doctor that I have now has a background as psychologist and he is obviously an a$$ when it comes to assisted death, as well as getting medications.
I'm in South Germany, so not far from the clinic.
They have asked me for my medical reports and they have not told me anything about my age.
Pegasos have accepted people with CFS/ME, one a model/actress at 40 and another who documented the whole experience on YouTube.
I am currently showing all the signs of the same condition although I haven't been diagnosed yet, which is great to go along the other nasty conditions I have.
Oh! Thanks for this.
That is totally bloody hideous for you tbh: its a brutal disease, utterly gross. Cant believe you might have this ontop of other crap. Wtah is the shit thats possible in life. Disgusting.
I feel so damn sad at having to find a way out. But I literally cant sit here being at the mercy of this crap any more.
Thanks for replying, really appreciate it.

I haven't applied but I send them a speculative email regarding my conditions.
I got an email back outlining the vad application process and the faqs on the website and that they are fully booked until January.
Left me a little confused as it didn't really address my health issues but it wasn't the straight up "we can't help you, here's some suicide helpline links" that a lot of users here seem to get, especially the younger ones.
So I'm not sure quite what to make of it exactly. I think it's their way of saying we will consider an application from you. For reference I'm mid 40s so not that young but not quite pensioner age yet.

I've recently received the email response "we are booked until. . . . " which just seems to be an auto generated response. And then a little bit later they answer my question. (Previously it was auto-generated with '"thank you for contacting Pegasos"). Let us know if you get a follow-up that's specific to your question.
