There are people who are treated for years by shrinks and remain desperate.
It is a highly personal decision.
Having be suicidal myself and seeing as an escape route from the side-effects of medications for a large part of my life, I don't agree with this.
By the way to me, suicide is murder, it's murder of your own life, but murder none the less.
No sorry, MK, having depression myself, and having been suicidal myself, you have no clue what you are talking about. Your religion teaches you that, but that is not what PHD psychologists or psychiatrists call it.
People who kill themselves should not be equated to say robbers or rapists who murder their victims, it isn't even close to being equal. They are merely individuals in stress, which is not the same as the selfish murder of someone else.
