I agree. It is sort of like a child having a severe temper tantrum and getting the last word in, yet a lot more complex.
I did a search and came up with this website http://www.who.int/mental_health/index.html
It has a map and gives suicide rates per capita around the world. Finland is up there. ( heeheehe - north, up, ) When you look at the territories in Canada, they're up there too percentage wise and latitude. So I don't know if it's just the people who migrate to these northern altitudes, long winter nights, or if it is something physical. An extended way of saying it is not all about being selfish.
But we should all advocate for help. See Racer's post about "Vincent - Not Keratonus."
