    Depression is the main cause of suicide..Depressed people find themselves with no hope left for the future..They have self destructive tendencies and are often not able to think rationally.
    I have a close relative who was diagnosed with depression many years ago..inspite of taking her medication she is always lost and confused ..very sensitive and aggressive most of the time. She is also very irritating to be with. Always talks about the negative things does not see anything good happening around her.
    Most of these cases get better if they have someone around them who can understand their feelings of anxiety and stress. But they tend to be irritating and keep repeating the same old stories so people around them get fed up and start avoiding them.
    May be this women too might have felt that there was no hope left for her to live and she killed the child and herself.

    She might have committed suicide knowingly or unknowingly, but she should have spared her daughters life. May their soul rest in peace. Lesson from this incident is that do not leave mentally ill people at home alone.
