Something new has emerged, and only current ideological themes can get to grips with why the individual has become so diminished. The sociologist Frank Furedi argued in his 1992 book “Mythical Past,

SANE ON SUICIDE

SANE on Suicide presents the findings from our suicide prevention research. We talked to people who had attempted suicide, their close family and friends, and people bereaved by suicide. Although suicide sometimes appears to be an impulsive or sudden act, we found that it is usually a process. As such it can be slowed down and stopped. SANE'S HIGHLIGHTS FROM MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK Mental Health Awareness Week and its hashtag #MHAW17 trended on Twitter in the UK, as thousands of people discussed emotional wellbeing in homes, offices and classrooms across the country.

WHAT CAN I DO IF A FRIEND IS HAVING A PSYCHOTIC EPISODE?' Psychosis blurs the line between what’s real and what’s not. This can cause hallucinations (seeing, hearing or feeling things that aren’t there) and delusions (believing something that is unlikely to be true and that isn’t believed by others). Thoughts and speech can get disorganised and the person experiencing it may not recognise that their behaviour is unusual or out of character.
