Not long ago, I have read writings on about fighting depression. Talk on value of life, certainty of highs and lows in life, suicide not being an option, and a lot more; all about do's and don'ts for suicidal person no matter who writes. The repeats of these age old advice were made recently after untimely dismise of Sushant Singh Rajput. Are the writers assuming that a physics olympiad winner was not aware of the nature of life? sometime ago, a man hung on to the rope and passed comment, saying, "I cannot even think of such act in my dream also". This past year, the same person self slaughtered, the very same. Why? Giving a talk is easy but difficult to walk miles in someone's shoe. The lows in the life of suicidal person is not same as the trauma of ordinary people; feeling sad is natural reaction, depression is not.
Some depressed person cannot be identified, for it wears two face. What if a patient is clinically silent? Having shown no symptoms he may possibly die if not given required medical care on time, and same boat is pooled by some mentally exhausted persons. A person may share a smile and spread laughter, not necessarily should the signs and symptoms manifest in one to identify him as depressed. Its like a clown behind the mask who may have different story to narrate. But after making many observations, mental health writes the other way around. My question is, "Should we wait for noticeable symptoms to put a stop to suicide?"
The asymptomatic suicidal person may not broadcast his state to world but close ones get to see or hear him battling difficult time. One should pay attention if he look for help. A problem seem small but are actually big. When consoling, some give hope by saying, "let know if you need help" but the help is not received when in need.
Pointing compass to navigate decision of the person that is being discussed but failing to uproot the cause of his condition is like cutting grass in summer. Rather the enlightening suicidal person with life's value in writing, why not start behavior change in the society. A helping hand outweighs the writing finger.
Forget the help, some people don't care even to say in response when asked but after death write pages of tribute, and this is hypocrisy. Many celebrities started to put a question on why Sushant Singh Rajput took away his life as if they are going to solve the problem and bring him back. Why is the hotshot of a person acknowledged only after his death?
This is for all two faced people who knew somebody is in trouble, gave no time to even text a message but later writes that he was my good friend, RIP, RIP, RIP....
Who am I to write? I am one of those strong warriors who survived the same experience many years ago, and today, I know to battle no matter how tough situation is.
