The Spiritual Ethics of Suicide

[Plenum]

depression is usually the start.

I'm on Prozac for that, so it can't be depression.

well, I'm no expert on pharmaceuticals, but my impression is that the Prozac may mask the physical effects of the depression (ie, realign the chemical imbalances in the brain), but it doesn't affect the biases or the emotionality which triggered the depression in the first place.

So it helps manage the effects of the depression, but the causation (the pain of living, existing) is still somewhere, back in the mind somewhere, floating around like a ghost.
