Why, yes. I am sure there have been others, but I have trouble remembering them, since at some point it got silly how a childish god kept interfering with the Enterprise.
But here, the issue explored is serious. Not only the right to suicide, but the rights of the individual against the state as well. And it is approached in simple, yet effective and thoughtful terms. Unending ennuis for constant pain. An irrational fear of change limiting individual liberties.
Of course, in the end (primary) Q doesn't seem to hold any resentment towards the Captain so you might think she could at least ask him to take them home. Still, this is authentic Star Trek stuff.
