I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my son to suicide in 2009. He was brilliant, very sociable, very mature and he too struggled with mental illness. Today I know a lot more about the subject and I'm trying to help preventing more suicides from happening and mental health from being poorly diagnosed and treated. Right now I'm working on a project to develop apps for smart devices that can help people at risk of suicide. If anyone wants to help, please, contact me.

Have you read Szasz? Have you refuted his arguments? If you have not considered arguments which say what you're doing is actively bad, but you're going ahead anyway, isn't that irresponsible? If you have considered them, could you tell or link me the answer?

  Because ivory tower intellectual debate is exactly what people raw from the emotion of a life changing event need right now. Why not take a step back and ask yourself whether this might be a helpful thing to do in a universe which didn't revolve around your debating skills.

    That's not ivory tower debate. That's "I'm hyperrational so you're wrong" dysfunctional argumentation.

I'm doing the same thing. Going to be writing a social SOS app for iphone/android using Ionic Framework. Coding helps ease the pain. Shoot me an email. evanmrose at gmail dot com
