My brother in law had been on anti-depressants for quite a while. To know him he seemed to be so together, happy go luckly...i loved that guy! On Christmas day in 1992 my husband had to fly out to Albuquerque because his brother had sat in his car and shot himself in the head. My husband was sure he was going to have to decide if they should keep him on support. When he got there his brother was doing good....he ended up living, but because of where he shot himself he ended up being blind. The VA helped him, and when he recovered he was like the same guy. We would talk to him on the phone and you would have no idea he'd ever had a problem. He was on some medications....he seemed to be doing great, then just died in 1997.
