I voted "Possibly", for there is something to be said for mercy killing in the circumstances.

However, all is not lost. I recommend therapy in the form of intensive Pratchett Intake, beginning with a homeopathic dose of Wyrd Sisters, followed by Witches Abroad, Lords and Ladies, Maskerade... once stabilised, proceed with the rest of the Discworld series at an individual but regular rhythm.

If you incline to the more obviously satirical/hilarious, you could not do better than Soul Music and Moving Pictures (Rock 'n Roll and Hollywood respectively).

Oh heck, read anything by Pratchett - you don't want, as the Fench say, to "mourir idiot"!
