True but they are linked. You rarely find people who are suicidal and not depressed in some way. Some people go through bad depression experiences and never feel suicidal, some do.................
depression if left untreated is very dangerous, maybe not short term but long term over years.
My shrink reckons I have been depressed for at least 2 years and maybe more.
If you don't have someone to support you, be that family, friends, partners or even a padre or shrink its virtually impossible to get better.
