There seems very little in terms of advice for easing suicide.

... Also most of it is about depression, and seems to treat it like some sort of urgent, impending disaster. This is amusing in a rather ironic manner, since just about everyone knows someone with depression (most folk probably know several) and for the most part genuinely don\\\'t give a toss.
As you\\\'re reading this right now you can probably think of a friend or family member who has it... but are you rushing to save them from themselves? Do you think they\\\'d appreciate it even if you were badgering them like some obnoxious busybody to get therapy or whatever?
If depression was all that dangerous, it wouldn\\\'t be so common. Natural selection would have rid the world of it aeons ago. Yet it remains. Clearly it contributes enough to make up for the deaths it brings about... if maybe only to serve as a lesson to others.

Not that I know how to add it to the page, nor even if it would make it without being deleted by self-righteous pricks... but the take-home point is this:
Sometimes, the only help a suicidal person wants... is someone else to push the blade in. A ferryman to boat them securely to the other side.

This page is seriously biased.
Who the hell wrote it? I insist that they punch themselves unconscious for the atrocity, at the very least.

Ok... previous statement softened somewhat.
The page is at least moderately biased... in favour of suicide-prevention... and otherwise attempting to portray motives for suicide as illegitimate.
