You need to read about reasons for depression.
I once questioned how someone could think a certain way because it was so foreign to my way of thinking, and I found out they had been abused and almost tortured by their parent. I got close to the person and I read about it, and studied it a little. Even now I am getting a headache from the conflict it produces.
So. Be prepared to find out the answer to your question and have empathy, or, understand that there are times you won’t understand and thank God you don’t.
Also, have a little compassion and don’t sound so belittling. There is help for people who have struggles and the belittling from others is what causes the stigmatization that prevents those who need help from getting it.
Depression of any kind is hell but especially depression that is clinical. It's hard to treat too.

“Also, have a little compassion and don’t sound so belittling. There is help for people who have struggles and the belittling from others is what causes the stigmatization that prevents those who need help from getting it.”
I had no intention in my post of belittling anyone. I honestly do not understand what would drive someone to actually kill themselves particularly those who have families and young children. Did this television personality feel stigmatized and not seek help? I guess it may be something beyond psychological help; perhaps something induced chemically within the body’s systems.
