    Was Bourdain diagnosed with depression, or do we assume all suicide is depression based?

      Suicide is terminal depression.

              Well, that sucks.

              He's been down the hole before though, and not just when he was shooting dope in the 80s. There was a dark chapter in one of his books about a trip to St. Maarten shortly after he got divorced from his first wife, where he contemplated driving his rental car off a cliff every night.

                Yes and no. Yes we are f-ing up when people with mental illness are allowed to possess fire-arms. There needs to be a system in place to deal with that and yes that is very complicated. No in cases of Spade and Bourdain. Healthcare is readily available and the stigma that went along with metal illness is most gone. Like any problem, the patient needs to want the help in the first place and often times they don't see the problem inside themselves. Spade was on meds and seeing a professional. I don't know about Bourdain. Ironically I was listening to Linkin Park yesterday and you can easily hear the pain in Chester's words and voice. It's so sad and it's very hard to listen to them anymore. The song came up on the shuffle. I watched Bourdain all the time, his shows were some of the best on TV. I feel just sick about his buddy Eric who found him, they were like brothers.

                      I know very well that depression is a disease, I suffer from it.

                      Being suicidal is a disease.

                      Committing suicide with young kids is the parental equivalent of being a school shooter.

                      You don't weep for the school shooter, who is also undoubtedly mentally ill. Save your tears for the daughter.

                            I think some medications for depression will be linked to higher suicide rates.

                              This sucks. He had a real gift for phrasing and storytelling and was an inspiration for shows such as Chef's Table which is one of the best food video anthologies I've ever watched. The wife and I enjoyed No Reservations, The Layover and recently we've been catching up on missed episodes of Parts Unknown including his visit to Manila. Gotta imagine Eric Ripert is having a hard time.

                                No. No. No. There is an awful shortage of psych providers and there is a huge problem with insurance NOT covering treatment (or covering it for an inadequate amount of time ~ treatment is no based on diagnosis or treatment but on a set time period), having higher copays for 'specialists' or having very few providers who take a particular insurance. Wait times in our part of the world are upwards of 6-8 weeks. You can go to the ER, get admitted and they discharge you without an appointment for f/u because there is no available appointment. Primary care can treat basic depression, anxiety, etc but when you have someone who is suicidal that needs someone in the correct field.

                                There is plenty of stigma about seeing a psych and being depressed. This esp for those who are well respected. All sorts of issues- they feel inadequate, like they can't seek help and look weak, certain cultures do not believe in seeking help. Yes it is fashionable for a subset of the population to brag about seeing a therapist but for public figures it ain't always easy.

                                If you have someone who is extremely depressed they can be incapacitated to the point they can't get organized enough or get enough energy to make a plan and then act on it. When you give a med it may lift the depression enough the person can get organized and have enough energy to actually make a plan and act. That is why you always ask about suicidal ideation when you are starting the med. You also contract for safety. This is true of just about every med. The loss of lethargy happens before the lifting of depression or anxiety.
