Ahh. Yes, the delusional man who's psychiatric fibers were in tatters could have totally understood and digested that his actions that day were selfish. If only you had been there to say that to him.
Setting aside the shaming part of your comment, it's indeed absolutely horrific for the family and everyone close to him.

In all seriousness, people often commit suicide when they feel like nobody wants them around anyway. He may not have registered that his loss would be a negative to those around him, even those closest to him.

#7Yes, there is something wrong with the insurance industry. But there is something wrong with the hospitals, doctors and drug companies too. The whole system is broken. Hospitals try to eke out the most out of insurance companies, often providing services that are unnecessary. Pharmaceutical companies charge US patients significantly higher rates than in other countries. Don't put all the blame on insurance companies.

No, selfish would be more like knowing it, being of reasonably sound mind, and doing it anyways.
Being convinced of something by wonky brain chemistry isn't necessarily a personal failing.

>The ensuing months led to a rotating cycle of failed outpatient treatment programs followed by ER visits, brief admissions, and premature discharges. And Randy kept getting worse. He became so unstable with paranoid delusions and psychosis that he was not safe to be around me or the children. He never came home.
From TFA. This isn't someone who reasoned their way into suicide.

I think people who commit suicide really believe they actually help their families or the world is better off without them. So, no, they are far from cruel. They are considerate.
