Description
Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison's groundbreaking work sheds light on one of the most taboo subjects in modern society: suicide. With her own experience as a survivor of a nearly lethal attempt, she has dedicated her life to understanding mental illness and self-inflicted death.
This book dispels the silence and shame surrounding suicide, providing a better understanding of the suicidal mind and offering a chance to recognize those at risk. By tracing the complex network of reasons underlying this phenomenon, Dr. Jamison shares astonishing examples from the journals, drawings, and farewell notes of individuals who have chosen to end their lives.
She also delves into the latest research from hospitals and laboratories worldwide, revealing the critical biological and psychological factors that contribute to suicide, as well as new strategies being developed to combat them. A thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a crucial topic.
