Depression and mental illness is the most horrifying disease out there. I've spent 3 months at a time in my house. I also had to take 4 months off of work to go see therapists before I was properly diagnosed. It was terrible and something I've lived with since I was 12 years old. It is so prevalent, yet so little is really known about it. It is horribly sad as I have an idea how she felt, but I can tell you that no one on this board could've made a difference. This is a serious disease that requires proffessional help and constant monitoring of medications. There is nothing like the pain I'm sure she was going through. Hopefully now she is at peace. Its an ongoing never ending battle and there is no cure. Sometimes it takes years of experimenting with different medications or combinations before you can find what works, unfortunately many don't make it that long.
