Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

    People are there because their lives suck. Traumatizing them and putting them in debt just makes the suffering worse. Putting them through this process DOES NOT help them.

      Sorry mate, this is just plain wrong.

      People are there because they have complex medical conditions which require specialist personnel and facilities.

      Yes it can be scary and expensive, but it’s the best way to manage a shit situation.

        If you are experiencing psychosis, then this will absolutely help you. If you are suicidal, it will not.
