摘要:"The grief of a suicide takes different form than other types of death, and can include Post Traumatic Stress syndrome. For those who lose loved ones to suicide, however, help is available. Also, new research on how the brain works and the role that genetics plays in depression and suicide not only sheds light on why people take their own lives, but also offers hope, and new tools in prevention." "This newly revised edition goes into more detail about teen suicide and the help that is available. It dispels the myths surrounding suicide, based on the latest research and interviews with leading medical experts, as well as with family and friends who have survived the suicide deaths of loved ones, and who offer support, knowledge, and comfort to other survivors"--Jacket.
