  • Talking about suicide for the purposes of prevention does not encourage people to think about suicide or carry out suicidal acts.
  • It is a fallacy to believe that individuals who express suicidal thoughts are seeking attention. It is important to take any expression of suicidal thoughts seriously.
  • An individual who thinks about suicide is not a coward. He wants to end his suffering and is ambivalent between his desire to live and his desire to end the suffering.
  • Suicide is not a spontaneous act; it is the end of a process.
