. Depression is treatable, suicide is preventable, and ending the stigma around mental illness is vital to helping those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts.
In that spirit, many people take to the Internet to start conversations about suicide, thinking that they will be able to make a positive difference.

, “Contagion risk tends to occur when there is a high volume and prominence of media stories about a suicide death, when details about the circumstances or methods of the suicide are emphasized, and when persons who have died by suicide are depicted in ways that encourage identification by vulnerable individuals.”

For those who are struggling with depression or suicidal ideation, messaging like this can be triggering.
