Depression is definitely an internal struggle, I suffered several years with it before I managed to turn it around, still not entirely sure it ever really 'goes away' you just learn coping skills and how to manage. Drugs such as Lexapro helped me greatly with both anxiety & depression, the most important thing is to try and get help, and Carlisle is and was definitely in a position to do such a thing, but again depression can xxxx with you in such ways you wont even get out of bed or bathe appropriately.

I completely agree though, that his concept of ending his suffering was selfish, not only to his own loved ones left behind but to cause tragedy in others lives also. It is amongst many mental health issues that we've barely even scratched the surface on, we're so far off understanding the human brain and the effects of chemical imbalances it's ridiculous. Plenty of money for the war machine though... but anyway. As pei said budgeting should be made available. It seems reflective of society, the shittier it gets and the harder peoples grind becomes, depression rises.
