Depression as well as having suicidal thoughts are a valid concern for many people, and overall in today's society; however, depression is often overdiagnosed, as stated in this fictional example:
Steve: Doc, I've been feeling kind of down lately.
Doctor: Oh you're sad? (Stuffs pills into Steve's mouth and money into pockets)
Antidepressants do nothing unless there is a severe chemical inbalance and can make things worse. It does seem that everywhere you look, someone is saying that they will commit suicide. Maybe they do it for attention. Who knows. It strikes a nerve with me to hear every other person saying that they will kill themselves for attention, when people are really struggling.
