I agree that we should be careful about glorifying suicide, but if you want to minimize suicides, you have to raise awareness about depression among those affected by it and the people close to them, not tabooing it.
If the affected accepts professional help, it's curable. Too many don't, because they are completely oblivious of their medical nature of their condition, because of the fear of being stigmatized, or because they are literally not able to muster the strength to go to the nearest clinic. It's of utter importance that the they, or the people close to them recognize the situation and take the necessary steps, instead of berating them for being lazy, restless or whiny and giving them lectures about how good they have it.
