Mob rule will ultimately hurt all of us. Today we lost a young Dr to suicide afraid of persecution of herself and her family - such is the belief in lawlessness because those in charge are the perpetrators
Not a one of us in my medical community is untouched with sorrow.

No, this wasn't an uninformed ordinary person but a medical consultant who kept trying to convince me that the patients are spoilt and want attention - in 2021!

Avarice filled opportunists - individuals and institutes - can't be counted upon to do good, but one hopes they do no harm.

We must stop normalising the almost invisible emotional abuse of women by the husband and/or the in-laws. That kind of trauma seldom gets recognised let alone diagnosed and treated.
Women are even judged and blamed for causing "drama" because she can't "forget" the "past"...

If no one "commits cardiac arrest" then no one "commits suicide"
High time everyone, especially in medicine (& media) stop using this pejorative term describing death due to suicides
"committed suicide" should now be banished from the journals of psychiatry. There is no point in teaching the media if this term is in our literature.
