Why do people commit suicide while in a depression?
Can you give me a brief overview of the link between depression and suicide?
Certainly. Depression is a common mental illness and can cause significant distress and impairment in functioning. People with depression may feel sad, lonely, hopeless, and have difficulty sleeping, eating, and enjoying activities. These feelings can become overwhelming and lead to thoughts of suicide or self-harm. In fact, people with depression are at a higher risk of suicide compared to the general population.
