"People like to have 'answers' to questions. It's human nature to look for an easy explanation, except there isn't one for the question, 'Why do some people commit suicide?'" (SIOUX CITY JOURNAL) This article examines suicide, "the most vexing problem that confronts mental health providers," and notes that "when it comes to diagnosing disorders of the mind, such maladies as depression and schizophrenia don't show up on blood tests or X-rays. Suicidal tendencies and a future course for those proclivities can present a puzzle at best or an unsolvable mystery at worst."
