What are doctor-recommended strategies that depression can kill you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self-harm: Depression can get so bad that someone begins to believe that life is not worth living or that the depressed person's family would be "better off" without them. These thoughts combined with hopelessness can lead to suicidal ideas and actions.
