The World Health Organisation marked World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10 and identified the ten leading causes of suicide. Canadians with FM & CFS/M.E. experience most of them.
10 Leading Causes of Suicide:
poverty
unemployment
loss of loved ones
arguments
breakdown in relationships
substance abuse (patients are on medications with serious side-effects)
childhood abuse
mental disorders (CFS has neurological changes, FM commonly found with them)
physical illness
disabling pain
Arguably a contributing factor to suicide, is having an illness that others dismiss as imagined.
