Andie dear - one of the symptoms of depression is inability to do 
anything constructive like seek help so we can't blame poor Merope 
on that, now can we?

We've seen what those horrible Dementors do. Don't forget that 
depression was what spawned the idea of them... it's what they bring 
about. Can you expect a victim of a Dementor do something like that? 
Even if they hadn't been Kissed by one? Because that's what 
depression is like.
