Weird shower thought

I was taking a shower and thought of a weird situation.

Imagine a depressed person is given a button that shows them exactly how they will die.

If they press the button and see themselves dying of old age, they decide they don't want to wait that long and kill themselves immediately.

But if the button instead shows them killing themselves, seeing that future scares them, so they decide not to do it.

In the first case, the prediction is wrong because they kill themselves instead of dying of old age. In the second case, the prediction is wrong because they choose not to kill themselves after seeing it.

So what would the button show?
