More DescriptionThis book takes a comprehensive look at the seriousness and impact of suicide on individuals, communities, and the greater society. Beginning with a look at different types of suicide throughout history, this book launches into discussions on the culture of suicide, reasons people take their own lives, and how to cope with a suicide. The author devotes entire chapters to depression and suicidal warning signs, and relays options for young people seeking help.
