I am glad to see you are a mental health expert.
If you don't think major depression is a mental illness, you are ignorant. Many people don't know how to get help with a mental illness because of the stigma that comes with it from assholes like you. Or from the fact we continue to cut mental health services across this country. Or how about from the fact that major depression, if left untreated, affects your judgement.
If you honestly think someone makes a impulsive decision to end it one day, you are wrong. Most of the these people deal with inner demons for quite a while.
Go back to living in the 60's where people with mental illnesses were told to just deal with it if you want to post such a ****ing dumb statement. I honestly can't believe people still think this way. You have obviously never had a person close to you end it. Sadly, that is probably what it will take for you to get it.

I totally don't mind this stance, especially when it is someone you don't know. It is just amazing that people claim that suicide is an idiotic action, no matter what the other circumstances were surrounding that situation or person.
