It’s estimated that around 15 per cent of the adult population will experience depression at one point or another throughout life. And, accordingly to the World Health Organization, that means there are currently over 300 million people in the world currently living with depression. Whatever the cause, for some of these people, the emotional pain will become too much and they will consider su***de as an option of escape. In fact, around 800,000 people go through with su***de every year, and for each of those, there are around 25 times more su***de attempts.
There are many factors alongside and including depression and mental illness that influence a person’s decision to go through with su***de: chronic ill health, guilt, trauma, substance abuse or loss, for example. The tragic thing is that many of those who consider su***de don’t really want to die; they just don’t know how to deal with the pain they’re experiencing.
