QUESTION: Why do you think Vincent still chose to commit suicide if he knew he would be a success? Is it because he thinks he has imagined the whole thing? Or is it simply because he is clinically depressed and kills himself in a bad spell? I don't mean to be insensitive to those who have experienced mental illness but my friend and I were genuinely wondering.
As the Doctor said - the good things don't cancel out the bad things. You can have a hundred good things in your life, but if you're depressed, you won't be able to see them or take comfort from them - no matter how often you see them before your very eyes.
The world seems different to a depressed person. The happy things that other people seem to experience seem like a whole other world when you're depressed. People might tell you that you've got plenty to live for, but try as you might, you can't see it. You just...can't. For a depressed person, those happy things might as well not exist.
It did. It's hard for people who havn't experienced that feeling to know or really understand how a depressed person might feel so its good that you explained it to me :)

There's your answer. I hope it made sense.
