I pretty much agree with this. I have know people who have committed suicide and I think they have been mentally ill and that's why they've done it. I don't think it has been about cowardice or bravery, I think they have just sunk into a dark confused place where it has made sense to them to end their own life, but if they were well, if they weren't very ill mentally, they'd never have done it. It's very sad, both for the person who dies and for all who loved them.
