Depression Can Be Fatal
For me suicidal ideation has never come close to winning, because of people I love. So far. I never got to the point where it was stronger than love.
That’s the thing… it could. You never know.
That’s why treating depression is essential. Of course, it helps to have a social safety net that allows anyone to see a doctor, and enough doctors to see enough patients. I think if there weren’t such barriers and such stigma, more people would get help. For many a suicide attempt is the only way to get help.
