Ha! Nice subject heading on your post. 'tis cool.
This isn't really related to philosophical issue of weight gain versus suicidal ideation. That's ultimately a choice, a pretty obvious one for some, but it's still a choice.
First, I didn't know you could gain THAT ( 100lbs ) much weight on lithium.
I'm not depressed ( and never have been ) and I care, sometimes to the point of neurosis, what other people think.
While I agree that a symptom of depression is heightened sensitivity to critism, I won't say that non-depressives to a greater extent lack this trait ( quote: "don't care that much" ) or can't have this trait without being clinically depressed.
Of course, I've never been what most people would call depressed so I can't appreciate what "caring too much about what other people think" is.
