I think sometimes people who suffer from severe depression often think they are a burden to the people around them and that everyone would be better off if they were not in the picture anyone. That person thinks they are doing everyone a favor by taking their life, when in reality the opposite is true - it causes great pain.

I have had discussions with my elderly mother, who lists the members of my father’s family that have probably had depression.
IOW there is probably a genetic component. Also addictions and alcoholism often go with depression, perhaps attempts to self medicate.
My sister is completely drug-alcohol free, however.
Anybody who spouts of satan claims for those medically diagnosed with depression are extreme kooks, in my view.
