CMV: People who commit suicide deserve a share of the blame too.

I understand your confusion about what depression is and how it relates to suicide. They are very complicated issues. 

The first thing you need to understand is that there is "feeling depressed" and clinical depression. Very few people commit suicide for feeling depressed. Feelings are something that can be dealt with through rational means, so it is difficult  to imagine how this would lead to suicide. Common suggestions like exercise and tough love can positively impact someone is feeling depressed. Feelings of depression also subside over time.

Clinical depression is vastly different. It is fundamentally a chemical imbalance in the brain. So the brain is sick. So sick that it can believe that suicide is a preferable outcome. So sick that our basest urge for survival is compromised. So how  do you tell a sick brain to see things differently, to feel better? You might as well tell a diabetic to suck it up and produce more insulin already. The organism is simply not working as it should, in this case affecting cognition. Most people who commit suicide are not in a healthy condition of mind. Not merely a state -- a condition.

Now, those of us who have suffered with clinical depression for many years know is that a major depressive episode will eventually pass. And those of us also know it will be back. And we know that in the middle our brain and body conspire against our very survival. Many of us survive many years, many are snuffed out too soon. With suicide it is always too soon.

So who is at fault in suicide? The disorder. People in a rational state do not murder themselves. Nobody is to blame. It is senseless, it is tragic, and it is devastating to everyone affected. Trying to assign blame is inappropriate.
