[net.suicide] depression and suicide

colonel@sunybcs.UUCP (George Sicherman) (02/05/84)

While I won't deny that depression and suicide often go together,
the psychologists seem to have decided that suicide is above all
an act of killing.  Being killed and dying for escape are secondary.
See Karl Menninger's _Man Against Himself_ for some illustrations
of this principle.
