This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

So he was depressed and maybe tried to end it all??
Wasn't there another person that tried to kill themselves with a gun but survived and it also cured their depression?
All wild speculation but also could have been a crazy ex involved.
Some Final Destination shit going on.
If you survive a gunshot to head it's typically because it hit your frontal lobe / lobes which are to some degree expendable. So you basically have a frontal lobectomy which yeah, it's an effective treatment for depression. There are some side effects however.
Lobotomy is NOT an effective treatment for depression, anymore than a death is a treatment for depression, or whatever.
It’s effective, not efficient.
There have been stories of people committing suicide by jumping off bridges. The survivors typically reconsider their actions between when they jump and before they land.
