There was a case here many years ago. The head of the Reserve Bank and his wife, having reached the age of 68 or something were both found dead by suicide. I doubt they were depressed. Certainly there was no suggestion of that. They just felt they had seen their best and now it was time to go. Plenty of people were concerned by this, of course. I doubt the psychiatric profession wants to allow such sentiments to go unmedicated.
