I don't think he was saying it's okay to kill yourself, but rather that depression can sometimes prevent a person's mind from working in any rational, understandable way. It's funny, but sometimes suicide is almost romanticized, like it's the desperate choice of someone who just couldn't take it any more, some calculated decision to end their own suffering or put themselves out of their misery. I think it's probably more impulsive than that at least some of the time, even for people who leave notes, a completely senseless or thoughtless act by someone with a diseased mind

Then again I don't know for sure. I'm very familiar with depression... But I've never had suicidal tendencies.
