>>I have absolutely no problem with people harming themselves, but when people harm others- society really needs to step in.<<

Syb -

In one way I agree with this. However, people who commit suicide very often cause great harm to others. I have known many people who have had a parent commit suicide when they were young, and it can be devastating to them. It has long-lasting emotional and mental consequences, and puts those children at much greater risk of committing suicide themselves.

So diagnosing mental problems earlier is definitely something I'd like to see, and much easier availability of mental health treatment, as you suggest.
