Canadian actress Claire Brosseau, 48, is seeking medically assisted death through Canada's MAiD program due to lifelong, severe mental health conditions including manic depression and chronic suicidal ideation. Despite decades of unsuccessful treatments across North America, her application is currently on hold because MAiD restrictions exclude mental health-only conditions until 2027. Brosseau has filed a lawsuit against the Canadian government, alleging rights violations due to this ineligibility.
