Yeah we're going to disagree.
I've worked with depressed people in both family settings and friend settings and I'm firmly of the opinion that when it comes to dealing with the situation and taking responsibilities in terms of suicide they aren't rational, they won't ask for help and they'll suffer in silence and let it overwhelm them.
In terms of emotions its a tornado in there and the rational thinking that you and I enjoy just isn't applicable.
There are millions upon millions of undiagnosed depressives out there because they are almost incapable of asking for help.
but that thought of "They would be better off without me" or "My life is ruined anyways" or "Everyone hates me, I'm useless" Are as powerful as a scream in a canyon.
We can't apply rational rules to an irrational condition.
Just my two cents.
