Suicide is preventable, sometimes
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-22, 02:06 authored by Walter, G, Saxby PridmoreSaxby PridmoreObjective: The objective was to examine the assumption that suicide is inevitably preventable. Conclusions: Suicide may not always be avoidable. This does not mean that every effort should not be made to prevent it or vigorously treat illnesses that are often contributory. The assumption, however, may give rise to undue optimism, and unjustified blame when suicides do occur.
