Mark,
Having suffered from depression most of my life, been in treatment for the last 9+ years and been inpatient and outpatient as well; I understand suicidal thoughts all too well. As you suggest, there is a huge difference to feeling like you can't go on (which is what I picked up from the post) and having suicidal thoughts. I have never "felt" suicidal. I have had suicidal thoughts.
You are correct in that PCS can contribute to depression, and that professional help is extremely important.
Everything I hve read says to cut out unnecessary sugars and fats. It is almost impossible to cut out all.
