Contrary to popular belief, major holidays are actually associated with a lower number of suicides, but days in the beginning of the week, and in the start of spring, were linked to more suicide attempts.

This is so interesting, this shows that animals feeling mean just as much as peoples feelings.

This is so sad. People need to stop hurting and abusing animals because they have feelings too.

Biology does seem to be a factor in the issue of suicide. From research, most people who attempted suicide were also found to have the gene called RGS2. 43% of the people who attempted suicide had this gene. |
The fact that there are lower suicide attempts around the holidays suggests that family support and communication can boost mood and therefore have people reconsider taking their own lives. I believe this is true because during the holidays they realize how much they are loved and how hurt their family would be if they were gone.
