"as a psychologist who has worked with hundreds of suicidal people, I am also painfully aware that depression is the common cold of our society, that even untreated depressions lift, that therapy works, that our society's insidious ageism (believed so by the elderly as well as the young) inspires self-destruction, and that the great majority of the problems over which people end their lives are not the extraordinary ones of facing a certain and painful death, but the ordinary ones of broken hearts and shattered dreams. Even the most savage hopelessness passes, sometimes with no more than the balm of time."
