there had to be warning signs...sometimes people are just too busy to notice them.

First, that is the stigma attached to seeking qualified care by licensed professional healthcare providers stops...

Read this paper, it is quite disturbing. If this is what is going on in disparity communities, while quite unfortunate, it suggests that all of us need to be vigilant in reaching out to people who call out to the universe... The ignorance is stifling, and the stigma is killing us...

I have already noticed the comments written by those who are hurting and suffering have some pathological implications... My knowledge is only cursory and circumspect, but, it is quite obvious that those who suffer need some gentle but firm encouragement to seek professionally licensed care and provide tools they can use to become an advocate of their own health, at least mentally. Basically, it puts the ball in their court to seek their most optimum care. And finally its their choice. If they choose differently, welp, it cannot be due to not knowing.

Support can motivate and bolster individuals to triumph. Chalk it up to what happens to the "written word" and "reading those words"...

There were. On his myspace blog, I could tell, but I was actively looking, post hoc. It was occurring roughly over ~6 months till he took his life. In fact he posted his suicide note on myspace--or it looked like one IMO--and that's my professional opinion.

The people that say they loved him, just seem they did not know the telltale signs. If more informed, they could have... Now, unfortunately, they have to live with this loss. Who knows what it will do for them.

i think that what is saddest of all, is that folks sat and watched as this young man took his life...they even encouraged him to do so.

yeah, that part is messed up beyond belief

those people are partly responsible. Maybe not legally, but in my opinion morally.
