Suicide is not selfish. Suicide is, normally, death caused by the illness of depression. It is the final symptom.

A text-based graphic debunking the myth that talking about suicide encourages it, citing research and attributed to psychotherapist Stacey Freedenthal.

A text-based graphic debunking the myth that talking about suicide encourages it, citing research and attributed to psychotherapist Stacey Freedenthal.

It's a myth that talking about suicide gives somebody the idea. Research consistently shows that asking somebody about suicide, even several times a day, doesn't cause or increase suicidal thoughts.

My 14 yr old daughter lost her very best friend to suicide at age 13 due to depression and issues with school. They were like twins. My daughter was devastated. Refused to go back to school, too difficult now alone. School did nothing to encourage her to return.
