I know, I think the statistic is 60% of people who commit suicide are depressed. I don't know what the other 40% are, I can't imagine they're as happy as f*cking larry but there you go.

Maybe the 40% are just attention seekers? But 60% of people who commit suicide have a genuine disorder.

I think it's a really misunderstood illness and people shun it by simply saying that they're selfish. Because they wouldn't dream of leaving their family behind and making them suffer etc. but then again, they don't understand the mind set of somebody who is depressed.

I can see both sides of the coin, but it's an interesting topic I think.
