My dad had kind of a typical (?!) depressive career: he worked a lot. First, he had a tinnitus and some years after that he had "burnout". 6 months after my dad retired he tried to jump into death. After 2 weeks of coma he was like mentally switched. It was christmas and we told him that he'll be grandpa in a few months. Now, 5 years later he says that this helped a lot. He still does therapy. He found the therapist that fitted him perfectly. Its still work to do but he works on it. The therapist told him that he has a trauma like many Germans which were born in the generation after world war 2. The trauma is the root cause and he has a chance to overcome this trauma. We will see. My wife's uncle didn't worked his first depression and recently - about 10 years after the first breakout - he's depressive again.
