Case study: Richard is an older man living alone in his own home. He has Parkinson's disease and is looked after by his daughter, Victoria, who lives next door. Other than Victoria and the visiting support worker, Pieter, Richard doesn't see many people. He avoids leaving the house because he is ashamed of his condition. He is also worried that he will have a fall. Victoria encourages Richard to stay at home; she too is worried her father will fall. Richard played a lot of golf when he was younger and before he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He misses the sport, especially walking across the course. He also misses social contact and feels that, as an older person with an illness, he has no contribution to make to society. He was a doctor before retiring and
helped many people. Richard finds his deteriorating health frustrating and depressing.
More than once, Richard has mentioned the desire to die. He has even asked Victoria to purchase a lethal substance for him, but Victoria refused.
