I honestly think that making it against the law will just drive the sad little emo's into more depression... rolleyes

suicide is against the law. your not allowed to take your own life, it's considered equivelant to murder

This law should be stopped...i mean what are you going to put their soul in prison?
It's your life and you should be able to do with it as you please...even ending it...It's your right...

At the same time, it isn't really your life.

While I understand and somewhat agree with your argument, the government provides you with social welfare, infrastructure, healthcare, justice, defence and whatever. For you to simply waste their expense by killing yourself before you can contribute to society would hardly be productive, hence why so much effort is put into preventing it.

Yea it should be illegal, unless you terminally ill and on your death bed, but honestly that would only be a small amount of the suicide. But if some is depressed then they shouldn't be allowed to kill themselves.

I HAVE depression as a mental disorder but how exactly can you prove I was depressed during the time of me wanting to die? What if I found out that I was terminally ill and then wanted to die? Someone could just say that I have depression so I must be depressed. Then I must live...

Boo ******** hoo! WAH I'm depressed! Get over yourself I doubt their one person on the planet that at one point hasn't consider suicide as a way out when they've been depressed. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. And if you are depressed then you aren't in the right frame of mind to make any major decisions like that.

. . . Depression isn't about getting over yourself. You really have no idea what the human brain does during depression do you? Allow me to cite a medical website.

"It’s often said that depression results from a chemical imbalance, but that figure of speech doesn’t capture how complex the disease is. Research suggests that depression doesn’t spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, depression has many possible causes, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems. It’s believed that several of these forces interact to bring on depression."
I'm so sorry that I can't get over myself long enough to tell my brain to work properly. Also depression is permanent. At the level I have it I will have it my entire life, so no, it is NOT temporary.

I know plenty about Major Depressive disorder I'm a Psychology major. And I know that on its own depression will go away in 2 years, but in between medication and therapy will help. Unless your suffering from Dysthymia disorder which is far less sever and easily treated with SSRI's.

Actually I've had depression sense I was 4-5 as my therapist, psychologist, and medical physician have said. It runs in my family and my symptoms started around that age. I'm 16 now so 2 years? I wish. I take large doses of medication everyday and see a regular therapist. Hate to burst your bubble but 3 professionals who have already graduated ,and my doctor is 56 years old and has been a doctor his whole life, so I'm going to have to say that it isn't completely temporary.

Suicide attempts should be prevented.

The vast majority of suicides are taken while the person is an a very bad, but temporary state of mind.
As far as suicide using pills goes, without a subscription you cannot legally buy, over the counter enough pills to kill yourself with in any one shop, and of course you can't get a subscription for suicide.
This is so you will need to visit multiple stores to get enough pills to top yourself, which gives you time to think it over.

The vast majority have considered suicide at some point in their lives, and if they had been hasty they could have gone through with it, but they didn't and now they're over it.

As others have said, it is generally a permanent solution to a very temporary problem. Most suicides occur because someone is feeling depressed, feeling hopeless and can't bare life. These feelings come and go.

[Seven Years on Titan]

Technically, I believe you already have the right to take your life. If you fail you go to an institution not prison, so you aren't breaking the law. But people are generally good natured and semi intelligent enough to try and stop someone from commiting suicide. Death is final folks, no matter what you believe, it's pretty much the undeniable force of the Universe. You will die eventually, so why cut your time short, especially when you have no guarantee of what will come after that? People realize this on some small level, and that's why they try to stop you. They're nice like that.


Ha Ha Ha!!! Except when they're trying to kill you!

I think someone should defiantly talk to the person and attempt all forms of treatment but in the end if nothing works and can't be done then maybe the person has just lost all hope in life permanently? I mean if the feeling has gone on for an extended period of time maybe the person is mentally unhealthy? Then help them but in a caring way, not a "We're forcing you to go to this hospital and you have no say in it by the way you have to take this medication while you're there." way. Help should be given out of kindness.

I took 3 tests from my therapist to diagnose my disorder. The different ones were for mood,personality, and mental health. The symptoms I speak of came at 4-5 because my father had a terrible accident that almost took his life you see. This caused my mother[as depression runs strong in her side of the family] to become depressed and anxious. As my father was in the hospital I was around my mother all the time and her depression set off mine and I thought my dad was dead. I began to bit my nails, have panic attacks, nightmares, and a slew of other symptoms. It began to grow and get worse with time, as depression does, because it went ignored. Now it is at such a high level I will need medication and therapy my whole life.
Sometimes mental disorders form differently by person. I suppose you know this because of your future practice.

My bad on that one. I've been working at a clinic as part of my Psych class and I haven't seen any one like her.

[L o l i D o l l y -- xx]

»» I have a friend who tried to commit suicide. He's now in the hospital recovering, he was in a drug-induced coma for a week. The reason he wanted to take his life was that when he was little, he was out four-wheeling with his younger brother and they had a wreck. The brother died and he never really forgave himself.

I think about suicide a lot. But I'm not a little emo kid. I take medicine every day for anxiety and depression, and it usually helps. I don't know why I always think of taking my own life, but I don't think I would ever really do it. I know that I have too much to live for and I have people who love me. I used to be very self destructive, an I only stopped because my mother caught me and would check my arms every day to make sure I wasn't hurting myself anymore. What's funny is that she's a counselor.

I do not think people should be allowed to kill themselves. But it doesn't matter, they'll do it anyway. ««

Well from what I know of child psychology at 4-5 having one parent in the hospital for 4 months and the other one depressed/anxious is NOT helpful. It runs on both sides of my family. I became depressed in the beginning because I had an unstable life. Then it went away for awhile but came back in 5th grade as I got older. I began to be nervous, anxious, bit my nails/inside my mouth/lips until all three bled, I couldn't go to sleep, I would neglect my hygiene which was mostly just brushing my teeth and showering, I didn't eat a lot, feelings of emptyness, aloneness, and suicide follow along as well. These symptoms have all been recorded by my therapist and diagnosed as Severe Depression and Moderate Anxiety. By the way it is not Bipolar disorder because I never feel any better from any of the symptoms.
Now what is depressing me is that I am the black sheep of my family.

you'd be suprised at how many people suffer from a form of depression, minor or major.
A major disorder such as bipolar, don't just go away, but there is a possibility of supressing them so that the person can lead a somewhat normal life. A mood disorder or depression isn't a death sentance as many people suffering from them think.
I have depression, slightly bipolar, and have a borderline personality disorder, but I've learned to live with them, I've gotten over the suicidal part of me, and I'm actually the happiest I've ever been right now
