> taught me to never make empty promises to people Yes, I suspect this is probably a key trigger for suicidal people. You get a well meaning parent/sibling/relative that quickly gets in over their head trying to deal with a seriously depressed/mentally ill person and often they resort to this. A useful public service message would connect people in this position to contact mental health support services themselves to better understand how to help the individual they care about. In a better world we have services available for both the mentally ill, and for the people (spouse, parent, etc) that are supporting them.
