it's just too fatalistic to say that the "perfect" solution for depression is just offing yourself

I want to clarify that I never said offing yourself was the best way to deal with depression. Dealing with depression implies you're still working towards a less-extreme treatment. I said it eliminates a problem and is a proactive solution. This distinction is very important, considering the fact that we're talking about a legitimate medical concern and human lives.

I simply offered an alternative way to look at suicide, if you fit into the very small demographic of being an INTP and having recurring, treatment-resistant depression. And even then, it's how I think. I've never claimed to speak for anyone else; all of my thoughts and opinions represent me, what I'e been though, and how I process life.

Didn't know I needed to add that disclaimer at the end of every post.
