Yes it is.  It's particularly sad because there are good medications that can help depression.  Intervention is key, but so many times the family either is embarassed or is in denial about what the person is going through.  There is a stigma attached to depression as "mental illness"... we're supposed to be able to "snap out of it", but in the case of severe depression, there is both a physical and a psychological component, and they can't snap out of it. 
And a lot of times once someone decides to take their life, they do seem to get better... this is because they finally have a "solution" to the crushing problems that seem insurmountable. 
And the people around them are fooled and then devastated.  It's very sad.
