I've done a lot of reading about suicide over the past 2+ years, but I have read little that has struck a chord with me more than a recent column by Michael Landsberg, a Toronto sportscaster. I encourage you to read it.
One of the myths about depression that Landsberg takes on is that depressed people always look like those mopey, energy-less people in commercials for antidepressants. They don't. Those commercials are a real disservice to high functioning people with depression whose very serious illness isn't recognized or is minimized because they don't look the part.
