    High Schools have hairdressing class and cooking but nothing on mental health.

    Teaching the skills of cognitive therapy alongside physical education is a no-brainer for people. This is a suggestion that has been raised for years. Until people demand it, it won't happen...

    What are society's obligations to the mentally ill?

    Mental illness affects all of our lives. We all know someone who knows someone who is suffering from a mental illness. It affects my life personally. I've been thinking about this issue from both sides, which are as follows. On one hand, you could make a moral argument that if a person is...

    Suicide - Facts and Fiction

    Suicide has been a subject on my mind recently. In this article "We tell boys not to cry, then wonder about male suicide" they talk about the rate of suicide in men: Now that is fact for X period of time. Easily proven with statistical data. But, I wonder about another statement commonly made...

    Does Raising Suicide-Awareness actually help anyone?

    I just ran across someone who was going on about how it's important to raise suicide awareness... Is it? Does being aware of suicide stop kids from killing themselves?

    Suicide

    What is with this subject? Is there any nonc-onflicting data on what causes teenagers to commit suicide? Some cases have obvious causes, but a recent case here highlighted that there sometimes isn't a ready or even rational answer. I've heard many suicide prevention campaigners argue that...

    Songs that cause people to commit suicide.

    The music that gets the reputation for causing the most suicides is Country Music. The lyrics about losing your girlfriend or your wife or boyfriend dumping you and getting drunk have been known to cause depression. However the song "Alone Again naturally" is really and truly depressing and...

    Merged Billy Joel's daughter attempts suicide (with homeopathic medication)

    Not surprisingly, she failed. I don't mean this to dismiss the serious problem of suicide among teens and young adults, and I feel very sorry for Alexa Ray Joel and her family. But you gotta think that this wasn't a serious attempt, or else, she knows nothing about homeopathy. I do...

    A fundy committed suicide.

    After work on Fridays I enjoy a few beers and a meal at my favorite watering hole here in town. A fundy lawyer used to come into several of the bars in town preaching the gospel and basically telling us we were going to hell if we didn't quit using alcohol. He was kicked out of every bar in...

    Did I do enough?

    I received a Facebook message from a friend of my downstairs neighbor this morning asking if I would check on him because she hadn't heard from him in a while. Long story short: my landlord let me in the apartment and I found him dead in his bedroom, a plastic bag over his head. I did not see...

    Suicide as a Rational Option

    Sorry if this discussion is already underway... I searched and found nothing (to my surprise) If you don't believe the moral stricture that suicide is a sin, what is stopping you? Some possible reasons: 1) Pleasure. You enjoy life and wake up every day to squeeze the pleasure out of it like...

    Suicide at extreme latitudes: just how true is this?

    In a discussion at work, the point came up about higher suicide rates in Scandinavian countries during winter. I've heard this premise before, but it i've always heard it without any real verification, and it kinda smacks to me of being a potential urban legend (at least until i can actually...

    Why do anti depressants make some people suicidal?

    When I was on prozac I though of suicide every waking minute of every day. I felt ok physically except for the impotence it causes and I was cool and calm as a cucumber. Suicide was on my mind day in and day out until I quit taking that stuff. I tried other medications but with similar...

    D.C. Madam -suicide -is this a CT salt lick or not?

    The recently convicted D.C. Madam has been found dead, hanging in a shed on her mother's property in Florida. Is this story not a draw for CT's to speculate upon?
