Condolences, Keith, and to all affected by suicide.
Depression and other mental health issues are rampant and pervasive in all walks of life. We as a society still, more often than not, ostracize people with mental illness and over-value things that compound feelings of isolation -- material wealth; looks; competition; power; individual success over community; and all the 'round the clock fakery, venom and immediacy that goes along with social medial.
There is an epidemic of suicide (as well as over-doses). Organic disorders have always existed and will always exist. We need earlier diagnosis and treatment. But we also we to be nicer to each other.
