LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WORLD SUICIDE PREVETION DAY

September is recognized as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month—a time to confront a subject often shrouded in silence and stigma. Many fear that simply discussing suicide could incite thoughts of self-harm in those they care about. However, this misconception couldn’t be further from the truth.

World Suicide Prevention Day, observed on September 10th, serves as a powerful reminder that open conversations about suicide and suicidal ideation can break down barriers and diminish stigma. These discussions pave the way for critical dialogues on mental health, potentially saving lives.
