Depression Deepens

Untreated depression can lead to suicide. Suicide has been called "The permanent soultion to a temporary problem." Many people feel trapped and begin to see no solution but death.

Physiological pain is just as significant as physical pain. In fact many people who are facing physiological problems begin to use physical pain as an escape, perfect example suicide.

Those who contemplate suicide often show signs of it. They may joke about killing themselves, or make statements about who life being unimportant, become reckless, abuse alcohol and drug, and some people become calmer after they've made up their mind about suicide.
