> Also most of these people would go see their doctor if there was a million dollars in gold waiting there for them. I'll caution you against this thinking, in general. If you have a depression so severe it keeps you from seeking help, you're probably well aware that it's a matter of life and death. Even if you're not acutely suicidal, you live day to day just "running out the clock", hoping it doesn't get any worse before you die. The prospect of wealth or fame in your future is not only not enticing; it may well make you feel worse, as self-awareness of your inability to care reinforces your depression. The idea that people who are not motivated by death will be motivated by money is, while not categorically false, surely fraught.
