Sometimes when people are depressed they feel so hopeless that they think suicide is the only way out. But there is a difference between being depressed and being crazy. Depressed people make the choice to commit suicide, but crazy people aren't in their right mind to make the choice.

I've been in that situation... If you get the right help.. you can control yourself while you are depressed... The people who do commit suicide usually didnt get the right help.. or enough attention.. in most people when things start getting rough.. and they dont want to deal with it anymore.. They all think ok.. I'll just kill myself.. I've had a couple friends commit suicide.. and I never knew why.. But I do know that they needed help.. and wouldnt go get it..
I hope I helped answer your question.

well ur friend is wrong, u can totally control urself when ur depressed.I can't exactly tell you how because some people just take time to finally get over depression, but trust me u CAN get over being depressed and I think that most people can control themselves, and if they can't...well then they need help before committing suicide.

well, if your depressed, then it's serious, so most likely depressed people will get those thoughts
I don't know how many times I wanted to kill myself, but i got throught it. There are many ways of dealing, just sometimes your feelings get the best of you. Think about this. You feel like nobody cares and you feel as if your life is worthless, you feel like there is NO reason whatsoever to live, what would you feel like doing? Depression sucks, and many people can't help their feelings, it is a terrible disease, and your friend it right on track, some people can help what they're doing, but some people can't, it depends how depressed a state they are in.

Well I've never been depressed but I would think that people would have to have <i>some</i> control over what they do to themselves. Not every person that is depressed slits their wrists or commits suicide. Just the ones that want a way to escape the pain their suffering will do that. There are things that can help though, such as medication, psychiatrists, support groups, counseling, etc.

Depression is an illness. It has to do with an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. A depressed person cannot help his/her condition any more than a cancer patient. There are treatments available for depression, but, like treatments for cancer, they are not always successful.

I definatly think you can do SOMETHING about it. someone in my class last year comitted suicide and it was awful. even if you think your life sucks you can always talk to someone about it and try to get help. its really selfish of someone to committ suicide- i mean i feel bad for anybody who wants to because obviously something in their life is awful but there is always something that could help

People experiencing some forms of depression act out before seeking help. They are NOT crazy and they CAN seek help before depression gets the best of them. Remember, as long as there is life, there is hope. HELP can be sought from counselors, your churches, your schools, your parents. There is help for depression. You must first seek it. Remember, YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS...SEEK HELP!

yes, it's true. i had depression for 2 and a half years and i attempted suicide many times i didn't care what i took i was miserable while being alive and i wanted to do nothing but die. i took pills slit my wrists... the whole nine yards. there is something you can do about it. get help... i got help i'm doing okay now but i still have the scars that remind me of what i did and how stupid it was. although sometimes the cases of depression aren't that bad. there are 3 types.. there's major depression also known as clinical depression which you feel sad empty guilty anxious worthless irritated or hopeless, tired fatigued or slowed down, yo lose intrests in hobbies activities and relationships, bipolar also known as maniac depression which means you just have mood swings and dysthimia which is like major depression but not as bad it's kind of like you live life almost as if you're going in slow motion. most teens have dysthimia for a year.. it's chronic. if you have any more questions about this just drop one in my box!

You can always control yourself. People that are depressed dont always go around killing themselves. I was depressed just last year... and I'm still around. Almost ever teen that i have talked to has thought about suicide atleast like 4 times in their teen years. Suicide is a common thing to think about. But depressed people are always the ones that do decide that suicide is their way out. Not every person commits suicide when they are depressed. Just some.

well when your depressed you don't think right..like your mad and it's cuz you went through a bad time so they start to think death is my only option and then try suicide it doesn't work for everybody but it's true you have no control over a depressed thought

I mean sure, you can help it or get help. I mean its your choice to kill yourself. But if you have like chronic depression it really is hard for people and the hell they go through. Life starts to get so down you just dont wanna live because the easiest thing you can do to get away from it is committing suicide. You can get help from a therapist or somethin though and like some medications like Zoloft can help. But what some people don't realize is that it can give some severe side affects sometimes. But yeah. Hope I helped.
