Very sad to hear someone resorting to suicide, he must have felt horrible and hopeless to be pushed to that. Shame that he saw no other way out, there is always hope and suicide is rarely right the answer.
Before I had a really bad and distorted view on depression, I thought that it was almost like a choice or weakness of mind. I over simplyfied it, in a same way as many other do for it and for example weight problems.
Then it hit me, I got depressed and know I understand that its not that simple and its different for different people. Some isolate themselves, some bury themselves to work, some eat to ease the pain, for some its comes quickly, for some it slowly creeps and starts to lay its roots... Depression and other mental health problems are so varied that there is no one cure, there are many things that can help. Therapy and changing the way I view some things, helped me a lot, but it took a long time and wasn´t easy.
Making the problem more visible and reducing the stigmatization, can help many people who are afraid to talk, who fear to be labeled, so as others have already said, talk to people if you think that they might need some help and don´t be afraid to talk about your own problems or seek professional help.
