She wrote a novel, The Bell Jar, that sums up her despair pretty well.

The scene where she fought off a sexual assault then was so disturbed she let the blood dry and crack on her face and stay there for days not knowing how to react or feel …

Some of her poems feel like they could be extra lyrics for White Rabbit. She was already a very troubled woman, long before that asshole Ted Hughes got to her.

Suicides run in families which is kind of scary. They can be "contagious" in a manner of speaking.

Yes, depression can be hereditary, but she had accused him of being violent before her miscarriage & multiple times after to her psychiatrist.

On top of the terrible “therapy treatment” she got, that’s definitely a driving factor in her suicide.
