Often, the people closest to the depressed person will become desensitized after dealing with it for years and years. It's sad but understandable but at that point it's not possible to get any real support from family. Most of them will eventually put their heads in the sand and pretend everything is fine because they want it to be.

That, in addition to not finding a doctor that can effectively treat an individual's brain chemistry issues, will definitely cause a deeper feeling of hopelessness. That's when they start wishing to die. A person considering suicide will often rationalize that their loved ones are better off without them.

Ultimately, they end up killing two birds with one stone. Ending their own pain and ending their family's pain too (in the long run). I believe they see that as being the lesser of two evils, since it creates an actual ending to it all. The initial pain will hurt but will be nowhere near the pain of watching a person with mental illness suffer til the day they die over years and years.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but I can understand why people do it.

/Agreed. Good post.

Although I 90% agree with Gnashing, my only point against (and I have always felt this way), is that family and friends sometimes need to quit talking and start showing the love instead. Take it from experience. Others need to learn a bit more respect.

/Agreed as well, good post.

I'd kill myself too if I had to live in Marin County

They found out he was diagnosed with Parkinson's shortly before he ended his life. I'd kill myself too TBH, horrible way to go out. Anyone calling him selfish can suck me.

Yup-- better to end it on his own terms. Sometimes living is the most selfish thing you can do.
