As for those who say it's "cowardly", you're all incredible imbeciles. People don't kill themselves because they're scared, they kill themselves because long-term depression can turn someone's life into a de facto hell.
Saying someone who attempts suicide is a coward is like telling an anorexia patient that she has bad taste in body types, a schizophrenic that he needs to learn to control himself, or an autist that he should work on his social skills.

Yeah..real depression is just beyond terrible to deal with on a day to day basis. It isn't something you can just snap out of without a lot of help. It also isn't the same thing as people just randomly saying 'oh, I am so depressed'.
