You just fundamentally don't understand depression, which in the world we live in is the most likely case. Just going of statistics not off factual evidence.
I never suggested he go straight to a dr and put a gun to his head and get medication, nor going against any professional advice.
Going to the doctor implies going for a chat. If it is a simple case of depression simple medication can help that.. Just as other medication helps other conditions. I never said to not go to therapy, merely offered a supplementary possible thing that may help.
I didn't intend on offending you.
