This young woman that killed herself was so similar to Kaitlyn only she was not a medical student. This is what’s happening to our young, brilliant, athletic, college, grad school, med school, etc young people. In this world the pressure to be excellent, to have friends, to achieve is so intense that I don’t see how any of them cope. And the pressure to NOT admit you are depressed is deadly.

One of the reasons your blog is so helpful to others is that it reinforces that depression is something that needs to be talked about until that stigma evaporates. So tragic to read of another suicide.
