About Death is Not the Answer: Book:
Did you know that India is
the world's suicide capital with over 2. 6 lakh cases reported every
year? But what we know about the causes of suicide lags far behind our
knowledge of many other life-threatening illnesses, partly because the stigma
surrounding suicidal behaviour has limited society's investment in suicide
research. It is said that more than 50 per cent of all those who
attempt suicide tell someone about their intention. So how do you recognize
suicidal symptoms in people around you and get help?
From insights into the mind of a suicidal patient and understanding why one is
driven to suicide to the right kind of intervention when suicide has been
attempted and a list of suicide hotlines, this book is an attempt to help
thousands who are questioning the motive of their life. It is just as useful to
anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide and is looking for a way to overcome
grief.
