Here is the late Lucy Gordon. A beautiful and very talented woman on the verge of stardom. She had almost everything going for her. She killed herself yesterday and I'm guessing it was due to depression. Many things will be debated about the motive. Do not let anyone tell you that depression is a mental illness. It is a physical illness like every other illness. The human body is nothing more than flesh and blood - chemicals thrown together in a most wonderful and mysterious way. You and I are nothing more than cocktails. Alter the cocktail - like altering a mixed drink recipe - and you can alter the person. This woman could certainly have been helped. Even if some other emotion caused her to take her life, emotions are nothing more than chemical reactions. Sadness or joy or optimism or ambition or laziness or anger or hate. Nothing but chemistry.
