This past week, we were hit with three major suicide stories: the first was fashion designer Kate Spade, then we heard of chef Anthony Bourdain and then that of an ordinary Frenchman but in the holy city of Mecca, during the pilgrimage.
Suicide is prevalent in our society and yet, it is shameful that we are still not discussing it in the right way and doing barely anything useful in terms of suicide prevention.
In this YouTube video, I talk about the common narrative going on at this time and why that needs to change.
