Then consider this: if a person had no will to live because the disorder is critical enough to make the said genuinely suicidal, it would be best to just cure the disorder: Leprosy, Huntington's, etc.
Not for mere changes like curing a cold, but actual ones that leave a person not only crippled physically, but emotionally too due to alienation and futility.
