In Reply to: RE: Suicide amongst 45+ in the US is on the rise... posted by kuma on August 27, 2015 at 09:02:37
I lost someone dear to me about a decade ago to it. It is very hard on those left behind. I think it is best thought of as an illness that is hard to detect and treat.

Thank you, the stigma attached to mental health is slowly changing for the better. As my wife used to say, if you have cancer, you treat the disease. If you have a broken leg, you treat it appropriately. The brain is no different. It's not (in most cases) brought on by the person who has the problem. It should be recognized as another part of your body that needs to be treated, and not dismissed as weakness or something that will go away by itself.
Everyone thinks I'm strange except my friends deep inside the earth
is a culture.
In Japan, to 'save face' honourable suicide has been a norm for centuries.I know someone who hang himself because he could not pass the entrance exam to the high school.
As you might know the suicide rate in Japan is amongst the highest in the world partly due to it's an accepted behavior.
