Topic: Suicide - FAQ
Author: Graham Stoney, greyham@research.canon.oz.au
Newsgroup: sci.psychology.misc, news.answers
Archive: suicide/info
Abstract: Attempts at suicide, and suicidal thoughts or feelings
are usually a symptom indicating that a person isn't coping, often
as a result of some event or series of events that they personally
find overwhelmingly traumatic or distressing. In many cases, the
events in question will pass, their impact can be mitigated, or
their overwhelming nature will gradually fade if the person is
able to make constructive choices about dealing with the crisis
when it is at its worst. Since this can be extremely difficult,
this article is an attempt to raise awareness about suicide, so
that we may be better able to recognize and help other people in
crisis, and also to find how to seek help or make better choices
ourselves.
