Canadian actress Claire Brosseau is seeking assisted suicide due to severe mental health issues, including manic depression, anxiety, and chronic suicidal ideation, which she has battled since age 14. Brosseau, 48, has undergone extensive treatments across North America without relief and has made multiple suicide attempts. She applied for Canada's Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) program in 2021, but her application is currently on hold due to restrictions on mental health conditions, potentially making her eligible only in 2027. Brosseau is now involved in a lawsuit challenging these restrictions.
