Maybe if we did not treat the entire subject as a taboo it would be easier to talk about.
Then we need to stop imprisoning (“hospitalizing”) everyone who comes forward admitting they are suicidal.
Suicide and suicidal ideation is a legitimate response to a lot of traumas, and criminalizing this response just stops people from even talking about it until it has gone into a full blown crisis. There should be voluntary help to anyone who needs it, but if someone really wants to die that is their choice. Taking away someone’s autonomy, taking away their fundamental right to decide what to do with their own body - that’s not helping. It’s an abomination - and most people instinctively avoid it.
