"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
~ US State Department, 1948

In some societies, suicide is still seen as a more honorable way to bow out of life than wasting away slowly, surrounded by doting relatives, in a hospital bed that is costing someone a lot of money.
But the focus of this article is on young people. Why do they sometimes choose this?
We know that certain psychoactive drugs can trigger suicide in people with otherwise quite mild symptoms. Any modern study should take that factor into consideration.
We know that one important factor in "mental illness" is undiagnosed body problems. These could be infections, nutrient deficiency, or chronic pain. So physical health factors also need to be looked at.
Then there are social pressures, like conforming to moral rules, living up to parental expectations, or pressures at work. These are common "talk therapy" subjects.
But that misses another important factor: The presence of a suppressive person (psychopath) in the environment of the person having self-destructive thoughts.
Some of them are pretty good at getting people to kill themselves, or others, for some of the most specious and deceptive reasons anyone ever thought of. This factor is largely what some "experts" who can't really confront the truth call "stress."
Removing "stress" from a person's life, by helping them spot and disengage from an an active psychopath, can save lives, and has.
