 Poster: A snowHead
|
GB competition snowboarder Ellie Souter sadly died in summer 2018 in Les Gets after committing suicide.
An interview with her mother, on BBC1 Breakfast this morning, highlighted some of the effects of that and issues we all might be able to learn from.
Might even make some of snowHeads’ more gung-ho, or just plain mean, contributors reflect on their posts in future.
We can but hope.
RIP Ellie

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I had to leave the room at the end as I was in tears, my 19year old daughter has been struggling with depression for some years now. Her medication doesn't do much for her and just when we think we see some light at the end of the tunnel we find its a train coming at full speed.
We live in hope that she gets out the other side.
RIP Ellie.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@harrim51, My heart goes out to you and all parents in a similar situation. Mental health care in this country is bafflingly dire.

@Frosty the Snowman, +1 and its the same over here, unfortunately. When are we all going to quit the distinction between mental and physical health? If you're sick, you're sick, whether its a broken leg or broken spirit. We seem to do pretty well with broken legs....we even talk about them in polite company. Let's adjust our thinking and begin to treat people with mental health issues with the same level of respect, care and resources we deploy for physical health issues.
@harrim51, please know that there are people all over the world that are pulling for your daughter.

Latest research suggests brain-depression is not a brain problem.
It is a gut problem.
The second brain.
Harvard -- the world's no.1 medical university -- is leading the way.
Read this.
Tweak her food and drink intake.
Review in 12 months.
Good luck.

THANK YOU all, I didn't mean to kind of hijack.
It's very hard as a bloke, we want/need to fix things, find the cause of the problem then the solution.
Thank you again for your kind words and advise.

I agree that the gut is very important but the review doesn't conclude any definite facts. Only a suggestion for further research.
It is important in many fields and my good friend is one of the world's most prominent fecal transplant medics.
However, perhaps this debate is for another thread.
To the OP and the repliers. Stay safe.
