Changing the way we talk about suicide. Maybe if we do this, the conversation will change and people will be more willing to get help. I regard it as a heart attack of the brain...i.e. sudden and often we are too late to bring people back. I don't say "commit" because those in the throws of depression don't think they have a choice. Thoughts?

Interesting thought but where does the medical profession sit on this? I'm a bit jaded, but somehow think they are happy with the status quo because it draws in so many more specialties in treating the symptoms that lead to suicides. Kind of a follow the money thing.
