    So he was depressed and maybe tried to end it all??

    Wasn’t there another person that tried to kill themselves with a gun but survived and it also cured their depression?

    All wild speculation but also could have been a crazy ex involved.

    Some Final Destination shit going on.

      If you survive a gunshot to head it’s typically because it hit your frontal lobe / lobes which are to some degree expendable. So you basically have a frontal lobectomy which yeah, it’s an effective treatment for depression. There are some side effects however.

        Lobotomy is NOT an effective treatment for depression, anymore than a death is a treatment for depression, or whatever.

            I don’t think so. It’s a disgusting practice, and the guys that started it didn’t have a fucking clue what they were doing, (and won the nobel prize for it.) They cut a hole then took an ice cream scoop and randomly scooped a bit out.

            Like if you break your arm, would you say that an effective way to treat a broken arm to to amputate it? Fixing it implies a better outcome, not a worse one.

              I am splitting hairs in this thread; I hope you realize that.

              “Treatment” doesn’t specify a certain outcome and OP didn’t say anything about “helping” or “fixing”.

      There have been stories of people committing suicide by jumping off bridges. The survivors typically reconsider their actions between when they jump and before they land.
