> Does the data show that the percentage is over 50?The data, using reliable statistical methodology (NO statitic methodology is free from bias and certain uncontrolled variables obviously- I'm sure you agree) did not find the rate exceeded 50%. However, I feel that the percentage, which was still high (I can say the figure if you want), represents a problem. The very doctors, people are seeing to ward off suicide, have a high % in suiciding. I just feel personally that this is troubling. My statistics only pertain to NSW, Australia also.
Personal opinions are fine, and in fact encouraged,
I applaud this. I personally feel you know as well as me about the qouta of psychiatrists who have not overcome their (pathological) demons BEFORE practicing. And I know you can not offer a comment in response to this!
I just feel that the psychiatrist should be screened more before practice begins. And regularly too. Goodness knows the amount of stress a psychiatrist goes through- it is not easy , I feel, to sheild oneself all the time, and thus, be immune, from the sorrow/fear/depression that a patient can permeate.
Finally, you might find this interesting. The statistical results also showed that psychiatrists (NSW, Australia) did not screen in the MSE enough for possible suicidal behaviour.
but it can be important to distinguish between personal opinions and facts.And even then your freedom of speech is limited here.
Why do you mention this? Have people stated that their is not enough freedom of speach allowed for on this site? Freedom of speech is limited everywhere. We are not 'free', by any means.
Actually I encourage your stance on swear words on this site- even though I have transgressed your 'rules' on these myself.
I personally do find the use of swear words, in certain contexts, offensive.
I hope this feedback is helpful. I very much like this site- I just wish I had more time to be on it!
