I'am more than familiar with depression, it does have a life of its own. When it comes to visit, you are no longer in control. From a rational view, taking your own life makes no sense. From the view of the depressed mind, it makes perfect sense. Thats why our hospitals are full of people that have a mental illness> depression is a form of mental illness. Most people don't know that. Fortunate are those that can identify the problem BEFORE it takes their life. Those are the lucky ones. Punch, I'm sorry your step brother did not get the help he needed. If he would be considered the pain he would leave behind, perhaps it might of been avoided. Gary
