assisted suicide vs suicide prevention

[The Valkyrie]

I've encountered people who have. I know a doctor who just took anti-depressants for a few months, because of depression, finished his placement and is now a doctor. Has a family, lives a wonderful life, and doesn't have it now.

I've met friends who told me they were depressed but as it was taking long to see a Psychiatrist, they self-treated themselves with marijuana, and I see them doing well in university right before my eyes with no sign of depression at the moment.

I was offered anti-depressants by my doctor a long with the medications I didn't take them. I guarantee right now, there isn't an ounce of depression and its not coming back.

I don't know what it means really when you are doing well, to still be called mentally unwell.

I suspect this is a misinterpretation on their part.

Depression, from my experience, can be managed and controlled, not cured. It's always with you.
