Although I do not condone suicide I agree with AV that usually it is caused by depression and some form of irrational thinking that I think they don't even know what they are doing?Originally posted by av98m:My argument is that suicide can be caused by mental illness, in the form of depression, irrational thinking etc. So I will not condemn those who do it.

I mean it takes a HELL LOT of courage to throw yourself off a building or even to slit your wrist and feel your life being sapped away!

And there's the stigma against mental illness, especially depression in Singapore. those suffering from it are just told to "buck up", "suck it up", or are chatised for having poor stress management skills or something. Medisave/medishield/mediwhatever cannot be used to pay for bills for mental health treatment.Originally posted by the Bear:... and can the single and poor afford the services of a shrink?
if they asked for help from the Health ministry, would they be told to get away from their uncaring elite face?
