So young but some people can't take the stress.. I hate to hear about things like this but thank you for sharing. This is another case that shows us to be aware of the fact that there are people out there who can help us in our time of struggle, and we should reach out instead of taking this road... RIP

"The report continues, "After cutting him down, 9-1-1 was called and first responders arrived at the home. His death was then confirmed without medical interventions due to signs of rigidity. He had a long history of depression.""Can't take the stress? Did you even read the article?

I am a stress and suicide counseler for people with mental disorders. Your mind is constantly bending under stress every single day, but for a mental patient their brain is 10X more perseptive and it causes them to hurt more on an emotional level than keeping it locked up.

I know and I shouldn't have worded like tbat. Didn't mean to offend anyone. My point is that's there is help out there for anyone who needs it. Don't take this route outSaying "can't take the stress" is blaming the victim, something you should never do with someone who has a severe mental disorder. As a counselor you should know better.
Also, I still question whether you actually read the entire article. He wasn't "just" depressed. He had schizoaffective disorder and was being treated for it since 2008.

That's what I was trying to avoid. I've met many people with disorders like this in my life and have heard them all day the same thing. It's not that they couldn't "take the stress" Its how I worded it that made it sound like a dick thing to say. Sorry to offend anyone.I have to say I was pretty offended at first, so much so I almost made a thrashing/offensive post but I stopped myself. Being that I am someone that suffers from a mental disorder. Also as someone who has metaphorically had 1 foot on a building top and 1 foot off, sometimes you just feel like there is no other way out besides taking that second step off a building. Sometimes when you get to this point you just feel like the burden you put on others would be easier if you were no longer among the world of the living. I can only imagine this what he went through. And believe it or not both times I have been on that metaphorical ledge/building it took everything I had and many hours of thinking to reach out and call someone.
I do agree I hope no one takes this route, but I can understand where he was coming from at least and hope he is granted the peace in death he could not find in life. Valuable lesson to us all.

Its sad when a mental disorder causes someone to kill themselves. Like Robin Williams. I have a bunch of mental issues, but I don't think I could ever do it. Scary thought either way.
Robin Williams was a different case. He was suffering a type of Dementia for which there is currently no treatment. He knew his mind was going, and at best he had a couple years of life, if you want to call it that. I don;t know if I would do different in the same circumstances.
