speaking from the point of view of someone who has experienced depression
I agree with Maguru -

"The emotional and psychological agony becomes unbearable "

depression can be unbearable and when we consider suicide it is not selfish !!!

the pain felt so real -it's agonizing

what saved me was my children -so I beared the agony and sought treatment

- turned out it was a hormonal imbalance !-

see what the body can do to the mind


I have worked with depressed pt's -post suicide attempt and most are SO
glad they didn't die
others were still in agony

it's very sad
