Isn’t any suicide by a young person a tragedy?

Any death is tragic, suicide is probably the worst for those left behind.

Isn’t any suicide by a young person a tragedy?

With regard to this and similar cases, the real tragedy is that the "helping" professions are confusing the symptoms with the cause. Suicidal persons often experiment with social transgressions as a way to self-medicate the brain with adrenaline; but the relief doesn't last and requires more and more risky behaviors to obtain relief. It is the depression and anxiety that need to be treated aggressively.
