We know from interviews with survivors that many people don't have a "diagnosed mental illness", but have something more like "rapid onset dispair". And that more people survive if they don't have easy access to their prefered method.

For example, in the UK this has meant phasing out some ineffective and dangerous medication; reducing the pack sizes of others; and encouraging doctors to safer prescribing of opioids.

Is that why I can get a bottle of 500 acetaminophen tablets in the US or six bucks, but have to pay Boots 4 Euro for 40 of them?? (I don't recall the exact dose but it was the same per table)

I always feel like a drug runner coming back to the US with bottles of generic tylenol and advil.
