‘… but they were ___’

What’s re­al­ly telling to me when­ev­er some­one com­mits suicide,
es­pe­cial­ly some­one fa­mous,
the re­sponse al­ways seems to be 

            “… but they were so successful” 

            “… but they had a great family” 

            “… but they were so beautiful.” 
 

This shows that peo­ple still con­sid­er depression,
sui­ci­dal ideations,
and oth­er men­tal ill­ness­es while we are here,
a re­sponse to the cir­cum­stances of life, rather than an ac­tu­al illness.

Men­tal ill­ness can be trig­gered by bad life events, yes, 

but also you could have the lit­er­al great­est life on the en­tire planet,
but that does mat­ter if your brain has an im­bal­ance of neu­ro­trans­mit­ters be­cause of genetics,
med­ical con­di­tions, trauma,
and the long list of oth­er things that are con­tribut­ing fac­tors to the illness
we are only be­gin­ning to re­al­ly un­der­stand in the med­ical community.
