Suicide Incidence: Statements.
I welcome the resources that have been dedicated to this area, but they alone will not result in a decrease in the incidence of suicide. There are many organisations, such as the Mental Health Association – which contains many of my former colleagues who do great work – AWARE, the Samaritans, the Schizophrenic Association and GROW. They all help people with psychiatric illnesses, particularly depression. These organisations are there to be consulted and used in order to prevent people committing suicide.
