I applaud PAW for covering mental health issues. For some of us who have lived decades with these concerns, Princeton was a formative time, both for ourselves and for our illnesses. It is heartening to see language around suicide evolve, from “committed” to “died by,” and, more recently, “succumbed to.” I am curious though about the decision to publish the mix of pharmaceuticals that was blamed in one death. Does this information help us prevent further suicides? Or does it provide more anxiety to those suffering enough. Not talking about the means is no solution. Let’s make it a healthy part of the dialogue, too.
