Yes, a healthy lifestyle goes a long ways, but does working out really help when I was thinking of cutting my wrists. NOPE.

Sorry, this is a very near to my heart topic after losing my sister to suicide from depression. The meds didn't help her either, FWIW. But there was something off in her brain. A chemical imbalance.

Genetics, of course. Either of your parents have issues? My son is in his early twenties and is beginning to have the same issues that I have/had, and it breaks my heart.

We cannot have a conversation about this if we are only going throw out the extremes. Are the vast amount of people walking around with "mental health" prescriptions trying to cut their wrist?
