The young, physically healthy Dutch woman who decided to be euthanized because of her crippling depression has been granted approval to end her life.
Officials in the Netherlands gave the final approval for Zoraya ter Beek, 29, to die by assisted suicide on the grounds of unbearable mental suffering, according to the Guardian.
Ter Beek first applied for assisted suicide in 2020, following battles with depression and suicidal thoughts caused by difficulties in her early childhood.
The once aspiring psychiatrist suffers from chronic depression, anxiety, trauma, borderline personality disorder and was diagnosed with autism.
