Konrad Michel, a leading psychiatrist and acclaimed expert, draws on decades of experience to offer necessary new ways of understanding—and preventing—suicide. Michel shows that suicide is not just a consequence of mental illness, but an action related to a person’s life story.

Suicide is the third foremost reason of death among teens in the US, with more than 8,000 teenagers dying by suicide each year. Of these deaths, four out of five are male and one out of five are female. In other words, there's about 13 suicides per day among children aged 10 to 19 in America. Even more troubling is the statistic that suicide rates have gone up dramatically over the past decade - surging by 54 percent when gang violence was on a downturn - but no one understands why this trend has been so sharp or if it will reverse itself anytime soon.

Emotional depression leading to suicide can work the same way. Sometimes, a person can be treated so that, in effect, they are cured; sometimes, they can’t ever really be cured but can be treated in a way that they can live with the disease for their whole life. And sometimes, just as with certain kinds of cancer, the disease is untreatable, unstoppable, and no intervention by anyone or anything can halt its advance. It eventually kills the person, and there is nothing anyone can do. Thus, Ronald Rolheiser begins this small, powerful book.
