Another Poor Soul

I found out a couple of days ago that a friend of mine has died aged 32. I don't know the cause of her death, but she has had more than one serious attempt at suicide in the past, one of which left her in a wheel chair. She leaves behind a sister and a young lad. This brings the total suicides of people from the mental health system that I have known personally, to 19. It isn't healthy to keep a tally, but given the sorry state of treatment and the general understanding of illness, I think its important to remember every one of them. She suffered from severe depression.
