That does make it difficult. However not talking about it at all is not working.  #1 killer in young males.

If it can be discussed without the details of how it was done perhaps that would not prompt an increase. My mate from work committed suicide around a year ago and its just hard to take. 32yo, bright, seemingly happy guy, long term partner, good career.  his partner or family had no idea why he did it and no known history of mental illness.  one chat could have saved him

    No. Talking about suicide in the media increases the rate of suicide. It’s not just about the method of suicide although that’s part of it (copycat suicides). One chat is unlikely to save anyone. It’s not always related to mental illness although often it is associated with mental illness.

    Yep. And lots of families don't want others to know their business.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
