Andy Jackson relates to us because the event that happens to him happens to us. Like, how he has to dealt with the passing of someone close to him and some of us cant cope with the feeling of emptiness. Some do get into depression and try to seek help, but it doesn't always help even though you try to get past though it with the medication and the help none of it really helps the situation for them. It gets really dangerous to the point where when you know that they therapy doesn't help anymore. Eventually, it is the sad truth that it results in suicide.
