Haralambos, I missed your previous suicide thread so I took the time to read it. I agree that there is a need for a campaign about suicide.
In your other thread you said, “…the reality is that if they did (care), and if they showed it to those who are suffering, suicide wouldn't be a problem.”
I have to agree with what Romany and Yvonne said there, that there are many people who care. But it’s not so simple…someone who feels suicidal will have to somehow let other people know how he/she is feeling and not be afraid to ask for help. That is one thing that needs to be made clear in a campaign- not only for people to be sensitive to others around them, but also for people who can’t cope with life or with their emotions, to reach out. It’s a two-way street.
My daughter knew a boy who committed suicide and nobody knew that he was feeling desperate or depressed. He was an average student, was fairly quiet but did have some friends. He never opened up to anyone. It was a shock to his parents, his family, his friends as they all thought he was quite content with life.
Eftfnc,
Any sham treatment can have a placebo effect.
