One of the most intelligent and gentle people I know committed suicide several years ago. Put a gun to his head and ended it all. He had a family and many friends who cared for him dearly. We knew he was depressed and he was seeing someone to try and deal with it.

Personally and fortunately, I've never remotely felt that type of depression and didn't really understand it. Now, I know that real depression doesn't discriminate, it doesn't care if you "Have it all", what color you are or where you come from. Now, when I think of the pain and despair that someone, anyone must be in to do this, I think its sad.
