Does suicide spread as a virus?

The day 10 September 2024 is internationally dedicated to ‘Suicide Prevention Day’.

As an expert by experience and coach, I believe it remains important that this subject continues to receive attention. Suicide is ultimately responsible for 1 in 100 fatalities, according to the World Health Organization.

Suicide is more than just a desperate deed or mental illness on its own. Whatever the reason, it stems from that person’s incapacity to maintain a balance in their mental well-being.

It spreads as a virus and affects not just the one doing it but also the mental health of those around them in significant ways.

My experiences

I have witnessed both sides of the suicide as a human.

Due to the agony of her illness, the confusing effects of the painkiller medication, and the harmful influences of her early life, my late wife made her ultimate decision in May 2018.

Sadly, I have been regularly exposed to the negative effects from prescription drugs such as benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and others. They had a darkening impact on my mind, causing irrational thoughts and acts in severely stressful situations, without the instinctual urge to protect myself.

And we weren’t the only victims! That’s the reason why I’m putting this petition out there.

The importance of appropriate treatment for highly sensitive persons and empaths is sometimes greatly overlooked by both people and medical professionals, which can lead to unintended acts of despair.

As a coach, I provide personalised guidance to people based on their life experiences, with or without therapeutic assistance.
