Depression is an incredibly broad umbrella label for a mental condition that is nothing like rabies or traditional diseases.
Depression is a state of mind, often (but not always) induced by circumstantial situations, financial, existential, diet, stagnation/exercise... the cause of Depression for many can be resolved, with effort - and it takes a significant amount of effort for someone with depression to do things as simple and necessary and normally enjoable as eating a meal or taking a shower.
The point is, if you're going to do something as extreme as quit life, you might as well try to see if your depression may just be caused by a lack of exercise or "tunnel vision" of your perception of the world that could be drastically contrasted through experiencing therapeutic mild doses of MDMA [1][2] or cannabis or pharmaceuticals.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts to the point where those thoughts have become intrusive and difficult to dispel, and/or to the point where you've begun formulating a plan, please seek professional help as soon as possible. If you know someone in that situation, please do not recommend therapeutic mild doses of any drug; rather, calmly and urgently vector that person to professional medical help.
