    Useful video thanks. It would be more useful if it included a written assessment. High risk, medium risk, low risk. High risk with close observation would be my guess.

    A rough estimate of 800,000 people per year makes the choice to end their lives. This is one person every 40 seconds who is successful to kill their body. And there are 20 times more people who attempt suicide. The effect is very devastating as for every 1 person who committed suicide means at least 50 people, close family members, relatives and friends who are deeply affected by this.
    Suicide will never improve anything. The hope of trying to end it all and wanting to cease to exist is not going to work. We will always exist.
    Everyone needs something to look forward to. If you notice that someone has suicidal thoughts or tendencies, spend extra time with them. Try to give them some hope, some goal, something to look forward to. Let them know that things will improve again on the rollercoaster of life. We should not get overwhelmed by passing events and feelings.
    According to ancient wisdom, suicide is the final declaration of failure to enjoy, failure to face the challenges of this material world which in reality is a place of sufferings, quarrel, chaos and confusion. It is this feeling of being deeply depressed, lonely, overwhelmed, without purpose and without hope that things can improve. It can be said that a person considers the killing of one's body with the false hope to stop their suffering.

    We are eternal spiritual beings just temporarily in this material body. We are not this material body and we will exist eternally. Killing this body that I currently have will NOT solve the problems, rather will just create a much greater problem.
    If a person commits suicide, i.e., kills their body, they will not get another material body right away. They will continue to exist, and they will still have all these desires, but without a gross material, physical body to act out these desires. This can be said to be like a ghostly condition. This is a very unhappy condition and is worse than what a person might be going through now.
    This act of suicide creates karmic reactions that one must experience later. Because this human body that we received is a gift. It gives us a great opportunity for self-realization. It is the vehicle for going back home to the our eternal home, the spiritual realm. If a person destroys this vehicle for self-realization, they will have missed a rare and wonderful opportunity.
    There are also karmic reactions coming back to this person for all the pain that they are causing their friends and relatives whom they left behind. So, it is a tragedy from whatever angle one looks at it.
    Instead of being overwhelmed by darkness and hopelessness, we need to pray and look for solutions, seek the light that will remove the darkness. We need to experience real love to feel satisfaction, purpose, happiness. Then there won't be any question of wanting to end things. The idea of suicide does not arise when a person is happy and is looking forward to the future.

      ​@@joewhite3882if you mean the character died of HIV then no. She went back to live in Scotland. If you mean the actress who played her, Caroline Paterson, she is very much alive.

    Patronising, condescending twaddle. And the home visits will be FATALLY unreliable
