Uuuuh no. I’ve got a lot of issues with suicides, but if he was diagnosed with depression that’s a disease. The fact that he got to 63 that way is a lot of triumph. I’ve got a friend that suffers from massive depression, I know he’ll die by his own hand, it’s inevitable. Everyday he comes up with reasons not to, eventually he’ll fail. And Jesus doesn’t cure that, it’s a brain chemistry problem.
I’m not a doctor. I suffered from clinical depression for years until I got help. I attempted suicide too. If your friend were serious he’d have killed himself a long time ago. Is he on any medication or seeking treatment?
