Quite the opposite. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest over who's pain is greater or "true fan" arguments over mental health.
I'm not saying depression isn't real, isn't serious, or isn't dangerous. Quite the opposite - and frankly I think the almost forgiving attitude towards suicide is dangerous itself.
I'm saying not everyone, or even most people, that get it kill themselves. Death is not the definitive outcome to this illness...

Damn right. Anyone with a lick of sense can see the danger you point out. If we continue to show sympathy for sick people who commit suicide, pretty soon healthy people will want to try it too.
