You're right...but the kicker is that people have to want help.

Yes, it is a situation where people will probably be going against the stated wishes of the depressed person in question. And someone may ask "how can you say that he is not in his right mind?" And I would admit that I would err on the side of caution in that case, if it was someone I cared about.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
