FACT (through knowing someone is affected)
Not all those with mental illnesses are suicidal
Not all those who are suicidal have mental illnesses
Those that have mental illness, or not, may think about suicide but never go through with it.
Or may suddenly decide at very short notice to go through with it.
A difficult position for those that have some idea about the issues, impossible position to those that have no idea, react to media comments or think they are reacting to public views!!
