Yeah.
Sometimes depression can be caused by envoiremental issues. Poverty is not really a cause, but hopelessness of never getting above it could be, and thus getting out of it would make you fearful of ever returning. Death of a relative too.
Unfortunately, many times, probably most of them, the cause of depression is an actual sickness of the brain. As in, some problems over the body cause pain. Some in the brain cause depression among others.
I am, of course, dumbing this down a lot and may be saying some mistakes here and there. Manly because I am not a psychiatrist, just someone who suffers from depression myself.
The thing is, just like you can't throw away fever or a broken bone because of money, you will eventually collapse if you force yourself, it is the same for depression. The difference is that you don't get a physical symptom others can see, it is literaly all in your head, so many people who don't know better yet dismiss it as a matter of willpower.
So, yeah. The money from the patreons is not a solution here.
In fact, I hope Marty can either contact cbob more directly or find a way to get someone to check on him for him.
I'm not saying this is the case, I thankfully am not one such case, but it is known some cases of depression can lead to suicidal impulses... I would be less worried if we had a way to be sure this is not a worry here.
