Women have a picture of themselves when they are dead. They like to see themselves as beautiful in their sleep and take overdoses. Men don't mind it being done in a more violent way, it's a cultural thing. Men are more likely to use violent suicide methods. Dr Mike McClure, psychiatrist Health psychologist Dr Rory O'Connor believes the growing suicide rate reflects the urgent need for society to address the wider underlying issues.
Suicidal behaviour is a manifestation of a problem with problem solving.
Fifteen to 19 is a very vulnerable age and it is everyone's responsibility to help them. Society has a responsibility. I firmly believe we should be training young people how to deal with changes and social problem solving. We should be teaching them in schools. Suicide is an index of an ill society.
