Suicide Prevention Measures are Necessary Ingredients of Public Health. Are we Failing in this Regard?

A nother young Bollywood actor has ended up taking his life. Outwardly, he had appeared stoic and wore a cheerful disposition and none of his kin were able to appreciate the inner turmoil he must have been going through for some time which finally convinced him that he would be unlikely to emerge from the throes of hopelessness that had en-gulfed him. I am reliably advised that he was a very popular actor with a massive fan following, and had through sheer hard work ensured himself a very salu-brious lifestyle in one of the posh localities in Bombay.

Abstract


A nother young Bollywood actor has ended up taking his life. Outwardly, he had appeared stoic and wore a cheerful disposition and none of his kin were able to appreciate the inner turmoil he must have been going through for some time which finally convinced him that he would be unlikely to emerge from the throes of hopelessness that had en-gulfed him. I am reliably advised that he was a very popular actor with a massive fan following, and had through sheer hard work ensured himself a very salu-brious lifestyle in one of the posh localities in Bombay.
