- elil17 4y agoIt's not clear to me that discussing the effect causes the effect. It's an effect that's been specifically documented in response to media coverage of suicide. The consensus from suicide prevention orgs seems to be that compassionate, interpersonal discussions about suicide prevention are probably helpful. Not sure if that's backed by research.
- erenyeager 4y agoIt is helpful because discussing a negative thing in society spreads it without need. Like if you find out everyone’s secrets and scandals, you become more uninhibited
- elil17 4y agoSo if I understand what you're saying correctly, you view talking about suicide as something that's going to potentially spread suicide/suicidal ideation and therefor if you're going to talk about it that's got to be balanced by a real need for that discussion?
