Have you never heard of depression? Schizophrenia?

These are illnesses. Illnesses like flu or measles, but they affect the mind and emotions rather than the body.

9 out of 10 people will suffer from a mental health problem such as depression at some point in their lives.

No-one takes their life because they are just 'sad' - to think that is really quite naive. They end it because death is preferable to the crushing misery of living with depression for years on end.
