Well - I have something to say on this subject. Of course I would do wouldn't I?

dusk...you are quite wrong! Severe depression can drive a person to suicide. This can be psychological or psychiatric. The psychological kind of depression is when a person (as Sarah said) is so miserable and anxious about something their life becomes intolerable. These people can be helped by counselling and help to solve the big problems that caused thier depression.

Psychiatric (clinical) depression is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain and because of this the chemicals that we all have in us that make us feel happy are missing in these people. I can speak with some authority on this subject because by daughter in law has this kind of problem and she tried to commit suicide 3 times before the doctors discovered what was wrong with her, now she gets medication adn she is fine.

also in my job I have to deal with people who feel like suicide (for different reasons) - it is not about character weakness at all, but people who feel absolutely desperate for one reason or another and feel that the only escape from their pain and misery is to die.

Erdinc you said that suicidal tendencies can be hereditary - this is correct in 2 ways. In the first way the type of clinical depression (with the chemical imbalance) can be hereditary, but not always.
the other way, the psychological way is not exactly hereditary but may seem like it. If a person has say a parent who kills themself, this has a very serious effect on the child of that person. This can cause pyschological depression and that person then starts to think about killing themself because a parents behaviour is a very powerful thing for a child to copy - these are very simple explanations because as catwoman has said - you ask the kind of question that has had a million books written about it. But once again Bravo for thinking up good questions that get everyone's interest.

Merhaba Lyndie!

Thank you for the info and input I agree with

everything you said and I beleive in Medication for

clinical depression. The girl whom I spoke of was given

medication to strong for her which acctually increased her

depression.

Take Care


Byesssssss

2 things:
- if one commits suiside he goes straight to hell
- killing oneself does not solve your problems(unless u do it for health insurance money for your fam...)

Two points here.

1) I think you mean that YOU believe that if you kill yourself you will go straight to hell.

2) If a person kills themself, their insurance is void.

Thanks Lynda for straightening this out, I think somebody is confusing things a little.
