the one thing i do know about people who say they want to die because they are so depressed is that very often it isn't what they want, but actual help, given by family, friends, and more importantly a good doctor who understands them, who can help and treat the person accordingly, i do know, been there and so have any number of friends. Most people who commit suicide do so on the spur of the moment, and there is no going back.. This young man is not in that category, he is refusing treatment over a belief, let him be if that is what he wants.
