Mate, I was depressed as fuck when I was a teenager. Thought about suicide a lot, almost actually tried it. Suddenly, things started clicking in my head. Why kill myself? Isn't this world beautiful after all--isn't there always a new tomorrow? That's when I discovered the human spirit within me that nowadays dictates my every action now. Many things suck in life, but there's no need to kill myself.
Based on my own experience, I'm just guessing that if depressed people re-evaluate their life choices, re-evaluate themselves, they might find something in life. However, it is true that the majority need psychiatric drugs, then they should be given them, at affordable costs (thankfully generic drugs exist and Big Pharma can't control the price). I know I did, for a time, now I don't take them, and I still have my positive spirit.
I'm not bashing any healthcare--Trump's take on this will be an abject failure, like Obamacare was. The principle of Obamacare is horrible--makes insurance companies rich and jacks up quite a few people's costs (i.e., my parents, yes, I'm middle class, so was Karl Marx, now STFU). Well, helps the economy of Connecticut, I guess (no surprise it's a blue state!).
I firmly support more psychiatric care for depressed people--to stop you from making a decision you would have regretted. But when people are killing themselves over Trump's election, that's just a complete joke, and I notice the mainstream media is promoting this more than it ever should be.

Oh, FSTDT trolls, great stuff! Now that messing with you guys is funnier than the site itself nowadays (I compared the 2012 archive to 2016, it might as well be night and day, at this rate, maybe DoctorDoom--where the fuck is he now, I wanna see his own reaction to Trump--was right to call it FISTED, but I'd just call it that because it's fucking hilarious no matter who calls it that), I'd more put myself on the level of Phillip-George, because we're both nutjob intellectuals. Hey, I admit I'm crazy, but there's that old concept of "insanity and genius" after all.
Jerry was just a shitty version of ProtestantCrusader anyway.
I'm glad to join the rogues gallery, please add this to the TVTropes gallery!
