Legalize suicide?

It's been well documented that depression can arise when someone has no goals and achievements in life. A person that doesn't have any family, or in some cases comes from an abusive household. Even if you stay in your moms basement all day masturbating to anime can cause depression.

Clinical depression is know to have no adherent external causes. Their brain chemicals are just messed up... for example people who suffer from bi-polar disorder tend to have depression (though not consistently)

Behavioral depression in a sense is depression that is propagated by external causes (lifestyle, belief's etc)

 

behavioral depression is what I'm calling depression that comes out of someone's behavior... as in not wanting to find a job and wanting to stay home all day and masturbate. This isn't depression that's caused because the person has something wrong with them... it's caused because they choose live that way.

 

For the terminally ill, maybe. Depression? No way. There's always hope.

 

The reason I'm labeling it is because depression that is cause externally can be changed. Simply put, if someone killed themselves because their girlfriend left them, this person has no sympathy from me nd behaved in a cowardly way. If a person killed themselves because they were known to be mentally ill, than that's an actual loss.

People are using the term "depression" to be complacent with self inflicted misery. In order to prevent more people from hiding behind that word, we need to understand depression and its causes. To simply brush it aside and say all people who are depressed have a mental condition, is just ludicrous.

Sadly, depression seems to be on a massive incline in western society, especially in youth. The majority of these cases really are based on behavior.

 

You may not choose to be depressed but the way you choose to live your life can cause you to be depressed.

 

In my opinion, circumstance causes the vast majority of depression cases.

 

Cause and effect, interesting turn of events. Is one depressed because of ______ or because ______ happened I am depressed?

 

Depression can be a mental illness itself, but it can also be an effect of external factors or by other mental/emotional conditions such as anxiety.

We don’t truly know how people feel about their life when they commit suicide. While I DO believe there are some who do it out of cowardice, there are also many who do it because they themselves couldn’t handle anything anymore. It’s easy for us to brush that off and call them cowards because we cannot understand what they’re going through or how they are.

I think that’s important to keep in mind.

 

I'll just end this with one trailing thought.

Those who commit suicide generally consider to go on living more painful than death.

^Duhh, thank you captain obvious. Some may have legitimate reasons I guess, terminal illness springs to mind, huh I don't know?

The majority, even the ones who have escaped terrible and systematic abuse, cry suicide not because they want to die but because they want their pain to stop. Do I empathise with them, of course! But the truth is they don't want to kill themselves.

If they did they would find a quiet place and SUCCEED. Why bother with all the soapbox opera theatrics? It would seriously get in the way of 'Killing yourself.'

No what they really want is to feel loved and appreciated and put to bed their past. They're just going about dealing with their problems in the wrong way.

If you have a broken arm you don't go to the supermarket to get a diagnosis? Oh hell no, you go to the doctor. These people should get help, accept they want to be loved, and with the right help, I believe this can absolutely happen. There is a chance for everyone.

^But this is NOT going to be easy, it requires incredible self awareness, and a appreciation that they ARE worthy of love, something that they will have been conditioned from a young age they don't deserve. This is the paradox.
