"But also, I must admit that I am a little disappointed in Aaron. I understand that depression is a serious disease that can fell any person, however strong. But he chose the path of the activist long ago." Really? "I'm so disappointed in Jane. I know she had cancer, and anyone can get cancer. But she was a triathlete!" Depression causes suicide. We should celebrate Aaron for having accomplished so much, and for having been as bright a light, while he suffered. What good is it to stigmatize depression and denigrate Aaron as weak because he fell? There is no good to this kind of "it's all in your head" and "just decide to forge on" sentiment. He couldn't. That's depression. Derek
