Suicide was the 7th leading cause of death for men and the 16th leading cause of death for women in the latest study by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It was the THIRD leading cause of death among young people aged 15-24!

More than 90% of people who kill themselves have depression and/or another mood disorder, along with drug use. This shows that, yes, depression is a killer, especially when mixed with drugs and/or alcohol.
