The article
In 2021 Belgium registered nearly 2,700 assisted suicides, with 24 involving psychiatric illnesses as the primary diagnosis—down from 45 in 2014. In the Netherlands, euthanasia among psychiatric patients appears to be rising, albeit from a low base: there were 115 cases in 2021, up from one in 2003. The most common psychiatric diagnosis for assisted deaths in both countries was a mood disorder, such as bipolar disorder (see charts 3 and 4).
Over for BPD
But data are worryingly patchy, and not directly comparable. In Belgium, for example, only one diagnosis is recorded per case, even if patients suffer from multiple conditions. In the Netherlands, Mr De Hert says that detailed medical histories are available for only around half of all cases; the rest lack clear diagnoses.

I never understood needing to go for euthanasia unless you're stuck in a bed.

It's mainly a spectacle to spite people for going after this. Having an entire team of people and their families commiserate and seethe about you going thru a lengthy bureaucratic process all publicised is pure undiluted attention before the cresendo of attention is reached where people literally watch you keep yourself safe.
