Approximately 20% of people with depression suffer psychosis. ONE IN FIVE DEPRESSIVE PEOPLE SUFFER WITH PSYCHOSIS. It is often undiagnosed and can be very dangerous. Please open your mind and recognize that SUICIDE is also violence, against the self - not to mention that a suicide in the family often leads to more suicides in the family, this has been extensively studied too.

And sometimes, as in the case that forms this thread, a suicidal psychotic depressive takes others in the act.

Our national conversation about mental illness needs to get way beyond head patting and an obsessive focus on not hurting anyone’s feelings.

Gun control isn’t the answer to many of the horrific mass shootings we have seen recently, where guns were purchased legally and within a framework of background checks.

We have a MENTAL ILLNESS CRISIS in this country. We need financial resources and frank conversation.[/quote]
