“Study Says Partner’s Suicide Raises Person’s Own Risk”
This data does not surprise me. I’m fairly certain research would also say the method would be much more violent for men. Why is research money spent confirming information and conclusions already reached or at the least already evident? It seems though I can’t recall when there was research that indicated when a family member committed suicide the risk of suicide increased.
