The thing about certain mental health issues is that they can get better with actual long term therapy.

I do not believe this happened here, the girl was treated at most 6 years. Describing it as 6 years of anguish is uncharitable to people who survived mental health problems for decades, and even manage to live with them.

It can take years to find out that a certain therapy even works... And here we have people hastily resorting to big red button, even after messing up previous suicide attempts.

I would not call it euthanasia, it's suicide by doctor. (In parallel with suicide by cop.)
