Take away all the drama of life/death/suicide/dealing with it and you get this: everyone's just trying to live their lives the best way they see fit. They're writing their life story, with their friends and family as characters in it; themselves being the main character. Problems arise when other people think they're important enough to try to live other people's lives for them. Let them do what they will, though strictly personally, I find it a bit foolish to end yourself.
But that's just me.

Depression is always a 'psychological disorder for the person.' It is the same as getting cancer, it is
never a choice. Nobody chooses to be depressed - why the hell would they? Are you getting sadness confused with the actual medical condition of 'Depression?' Saying that - it can be treated and controlled with time and effort, but it doesn't mean somebody can choose not to be depressed.
