[QUOTE]Originally posted by Luke87GT: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 66backinblack: [qb] watched it last night. made me think alot about life and how good we have it compared to people who have to cope with mental illness [/qb][/QUOTE]You are right about that one. Unless you have been exposed to individuals who have depression, bipolar disorder, or other forms of chemical imbalances, it is very difficult to understand how much of a human being's happiness and desire to live is dependent on involuntary chemical processes within the brain. The challenge for doctors remains matching unique cases to the right medications or recommending the right lifestyle alterations so that these people can go on living normal lives. The risk is always that their condition will worsen because it is very difficult to understand exactly how a medication will affect any unique case. You heard one of the individuals in the vid was not able to sleep on the anti-depressants. Not being able to sleep meant that he was a prisoner trapped in his own mind all the time, every second of the day. He could not even escape from his pain for even a few hours of each night. Another major side effect to many anti-depressants is reduction in sexual desire or performance. You can imagine how this can contribute to a depression case... It is my belief that very few of these suicide cases are due to people taking a bad turn in life alone due to losing a job, losing a loved one, losing your life savings in vegas while on a drunken binge, etc. I do believe that one of these occurrences can set an already fragile individual over the top of the rail. The guard-rail/net issue has gone on for years and years. The city argues that it will take away from the beauty of the bridge, and the flip side argues that a safety device would at least take away the ability for a jumper to make an impulsive split-second decision. Sure, someone suicidal will just find another means to kill themselves, but at least this removes the impulsive aspect. I watched this documentary in its entirety last night, went to bed thinking about it and here I am at work thinking about it the next morning... Its reality for a lot of people. I just didn't know that on average we have a jumper go every 15 days. [/QB][/QUOTE]
