> The vast majority won't and don't know people who commit suicide, That part I seriously doubt. I personally know of 2 suicides in the last 20 years. Not people that were close in any way, but people I had met. (Like the brother of the best friend of my wife or a classmate of my daughter.) One more accident where suicide is suspected to be the real reason by many. There are probably not many Finns with no relative who died from the consequences of alcoholism. I would claim everybody should know someone suffering/having suffered from depression or other mental health problems. And I have witnessed one suicide, which was not a pleasant view (that might be more of bad luck, probably fewer people have)
