5. [+142, -1] I don't know why people are scared of talking about depression. It's a pain and there's a lot of people suffering that we don't know about.
6. [+124, -18] We seriously need a breakthrough with our psychiatrists. Even Jonghyun said in his will that there are many people who commit suicide even though they get treatment. I would like to know the suicide rate statistics for depression patients under treatment.
7. [+84, -3] There are so many people ignorant about depression. Anyone from children, parents, entertainers can suffer from it. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know about it.

Sigh I'm going to be annoying and rant... No matter how many times I hear news like this, no matter who it is... My heart breaks every single time. How many deaths does it take for the world to learn to be kind? Please... Even a simple smile or the smallest act of kindness can revive someone's faith and hope and save a life, I sincerely believe that. We need to do better, people... Please rest in peace, I hope you're free of your agony now :/
