Okay, I guess I WAS a little to judgemental. Never having suicidal thoughts of my own, I can't understand how people get that into dying, whether they're taking their life or someone elses. What I meant by that was how can you take your own life? If you could, are you capable of doing the same to another human? I understand that people get depressed. I am one of them. Saying that meds can make you suicidal is true, in some cases. But med's have many different effects on people. Some people as I stated before take their own life because they lost a job, or a house,...etc. They probably aren't on meds right? So they just gave up because of one thing that went wrong. I just think that saying that the meds made him do it is a cop-out in some cases. (It's my opinion and I know many will disagree completely) but people can't give up hope when something goes wrong or 90% of people will be committing suicide. SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM!! No ifs ands or buts.
I didn't mean to cause such a stir of emotions. I am very sorry for that.
