For some people depression comes and goes, for some people meds work. I've tried at least 30 meds and combos, had 7 years of therapy, thought of suicide pretty much every day for the past 40 years, I'm 57; there isn't going to be a miracle cure, but I'm too afraid of suicide, terrified of being left even worse off, brain damaged, helpless but still alive. (Or dead and in hell) And even if I had a terminal illness in a place that allows physician assisted suicide (Oregon the only place in the U.S., and there definitely not Kevorkian style, only by writing a prescription) I wouldn't be eligible, no matter how much physical pain I was in, because I'm depressed!
