It's the saddest thing to think that someone got so low that suicide was the best option/answer.

A guy I know was being treated for depression with some kind of meds. One day he decided he didn't like one of the side effects, so he stopped taking it without checking with the doctor.

That is a big no-no, but he didn't know that.

He apparently dropped into a deep, dark hole. Walked out into his backyard and shot himself in the head with a .22 pistol. Beautiful, loving wife and two sweet, wonderful daughters.

If you are ever on meds for depression, do not stop taking them for any reason without calling the doc... he can switch you to another one, but there is a way to do it by tapering off the original med, etc.
