And even when they can acknowledge that they are at risk of suicide, or just depressed, the waiting lists for counselling or talking therapy on the NHS are horrendous. A friend of mine was suffering from depression and was told the waiting list for counselling was six months. A few weeks later he took his own life.
It seems to me, that people who want to commit suicide, should just go ahead and do it.
Without causing unnecessary strain on the NHS, by requesting "counselling", before they do it.
Surely, the NHS is here to protect and preserve the lives of people who don't want to die?
If someone does want to die, they can do it easily, for example by jumping off a tall building.
Or in many other ways, without involving the NHS.
