Not all suicide is a result of depression.
- rexpop 3y agoIn a medical technical sense, perhaps not, but I can't understand a definition of "suicide" which is voluntary and not forced by adverse circumstance. There is no sense applauding--nor deriding!--folks who succumb to adversity.
- barbs 3y agoIf I were of old age, living in constant pain, unable to do anything I wanted, wholly dependent on others, with no chance of improvment I would probably want to die. That's got little to do with depression and more to do with accepting the inevitable whilst having some choice in the matter.
