http://www.suicidology.orgThat's the site I go to the most for info on the subject.
I'm not sure I'd call suicide the easy way out. Far to many folks end up with horrible permanent damage to their bodies and brains from failed attempts. Also, I don't see how killing oneself could possibly be easy.
My daughter died of depression 28 months ago. It has devastated our family, but I've never been upset with her. She suffered long and hard. Every day I feel nauseous and wrecked and heart/soul sick without her.
Her friends started a fb page on her name to combat the stigma of suicidal thinking. 1/5 of us suffer from it in any given year. Gotta start calling it what it is.
