To be in those shoes is not a pleasant place to be in. Where you've lost all hope that the only option you feel you can make is the loss of life. Depression is one of the worst things a person can go through. It is a shame that people do not get the proper help they need and only get fed pills to silence, and numb their pain and suffering.

When help more often than not comes in the form of pills or talking to people who may or may not get the gist of why one suffers so that they have thoughts of checking out, is not much in the way of comfort and/or answers but most of all TIMELY. If whatever (X) a person feels they need to alter their thinking about seriously taking their own lives, does not appear on the horizon, it's the next logical belief that it doesn't exist or won't exist in time to help them steer away from doing it. This is where their anxiety is the next stepping stone towards that goal. There are pills that do not bring on more danger to help minimize one's anxiety, (e.g. lorazepam, etc.) but part of any drug or any assist may need to be something that the patient believes in, the placebo effect is oftentimes as much a part of the effectiveness as the pill or procedure itself.
All the more reason to spend more energy honoring their memory as opposed to judging or expounding on 'the cure' or 'the answer' to this sad sad issue.
