I think this is very colloquial, and I’m gonna take a crack at the interpretation:
Depression means a depressive episode, or a depressive disorder (featuring those episodes). Usually depression can’t be cured or healed, but you can go to therapy some people manage to accomodate for it or have preventative measures in place.
Depression can be triggered by lots of things or nothing at all, but iirc there’s a genetic component to it.
For all those events that trigger it, those don’t last forever and maybe the depression is dependent on the trigger. If so, killing yourself means there’s a life without depression you will never know. You could view the depression as temporary, and killing yourself as permanent.
With the genetic predispositions and randomly triggered depressive episodes or depressive disorders that last forever it’s harder. However, what if you find a way to deal with it, but you need to get over the worst part of your depressive episode? Then you might kill yourself, and you never know there’s a normal life out there you could have lived.
I think this is what people are getting at. That you never know whether it just took not killing yourself on that one day to get back on track and maybe live a more fulfilling life right after.
That said, there’s plenty of bad situations where things only get resolved if you manage to physically change your habits or social circle. For these, if you’re forced into your circumstances, I can totally say people arguing that there’s no way out. And I should also point out that if you’re killing yourself, you have not given up, but much more importantly, society has most likely failed you in multiple significant ways.
