I know this is not a happy subject. It is a sad thing that exsists. Very often it is young people.Sometimes it is that mental problems are not noticed or not treated. At times getting treatment is too expensive or too difficult to obtain. That should be changed. Lives could be saved.
I got to thinking & was really upset to realize that over the years I have known at least 6 suicide victems---three very close to me. This includes my 21 yr old grandson who did get treatment --his illness just seemed to come about quite suddenly. The family did so much to watch for signs--to try & be sure he took his meds ect--still we could not save him. Of all these people I knew only two were older adults--the rest were all young people. If you see odd signs --dont ignore them---do what you can to help push for proper mental health care to be available in your area.
