Accutane is a very dangerous medication for people who already have a form of depression. It can in many cases increase the level of depression one is suffering from.
I myself have never had depression. I have actually always been an extremely happy person. Yet the accutane which I took for a month has caused a sometimes extremely severe depression in me. It really doesn't surprise me to read all the suicide stories caused by accutane. I have occasionally had such extreme depression that it is even painful to be alive. I will hang in there. I hope to recover sooner or later. I just hope you reconsider taking your accutane. Clear skin can be great but to damage your mind can be beyond anything you can ever imagine. Take care.
