Abstract:

Suicide cuts across racial, gender, and economic lines. North Carolina loses around 127 young people to suicide annually, making it the third leading cause of death among the ten-to-twenty-four-year-old age group. Vecchione discusses possible reasons for suicide, the controversy over antidepressants, and strategies for prevention.
