Suicide and depression
What are your views on suicide and depression,personally I think there is just niot enough done to prevent it and not enough awareness about depression.As someone who has suffered from it myself and also has to deal with it in my family (my mam is bi polar) It frustrates me that while there is so much emphasis placed on other disease`s/disorders (depending on what you believe in) ,people still refuse to take depression seriously
Both depression and suicide are topics that are very personal to me,one of my best friends killed herself when she was 13,my uncle killed himself when I was 11 and a close family friend also commited suicide when I was 9.Just last year my neighbour (lives opposite me) ,aged 23 hung himself in the home he was sharing with his grandma who was on holiday at the time.His body was left undiscovered for 6 days and the way inwhich the police dealt with the discovery appauled me.
