“Suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness.”
My son-in laws’ family suffered from two suicides. His brother and aunt. Words cannot describe the damage left behind. He suffers from depression, we are all encouraging him to seek treatment.
My father died of suicide. It doesn’t create scars...but trenches.
Known side effects of anti-depressants are “suicidal thoughts”. Today, seeking treatment usually means being put on anti-depressants. He should definitely seek counseling, but exercize a lot and avoid anti-depressants, just in case. my 2 cents.
