True clinical depression shuts a person down to the point they cannot really do anything. It isn't being sad, it's being turned off. People at the bottom of depression don't commit sucide because they don't have to will or energy to complete the act. Giving anti depressives increases the risk of suicide because the patient is now active enough to actually kill themselves.That's nice and all but that's no excuse to ghost and ignore the artist, this situation is fucking him over too. Depression is sad but it's not excuse or reason to fuck up other people's situation too.
