Obtain Rapida Scende La Notte: Capire Il Suicidio Created By Kay Redfield Jamison Document

is very poignant, all I could think was wow there are people who can put these feelings into words, I read this while severely depressed and while not depressed, its interesting for me to contrast my mental state while reading this, I'd like for more neural typical people to read this to grasp an understanding and hopefully break the taboo, Read as research for a play about suicide, There's much to value here, particularly the individual cases recounted,

On the other hand, there are problems, One of the Rapida scende la notte's annoyances is Jamison's excessive fondness for statistics, A greater shortcoming is that she writes confidently from one side of a still unsettled question about the relationship between the mind and the brain, assuming that what happens at a neurochemical level in the brain is the cause of what happens in the mind in terms of emotions, thoughts, and behavior.
Without getting into philosophy or cognitive science, I can suggest that the mindbody problem is yet to be resolved and that the mind is known to influence the brain as well.
To put it in other terms, its as if everyone in Jamisons book could say from her point of view, “I didnt kill myself, my mental disorder did,” which practically removes choice from the picture.
This isn't to say that SSRIs and other antidepressants shouldn't be tried, only that chemistry isn't likely always to be the problem,

Most important, despite a pretty broad range of historical gleanings, Night Falls Fast remains bound by the medical view that's widely adopted in the West nowadays, proposing that suicide is the result of depression or one of the other psychiatric disorders.
As I recall now at least five years after reading it, Jamison gives short shrift to, maybe doesn't discuss at all, the other possible reasons for which one may kill oneself, of which examples can be found in the present as well as the past: as a protest, as the ultimate sacrifice for a cause, as an action entailed by a code of honor, as the only way to defy an intolerable situation, etc.
This omits Cato the Younger, possibly Jesus, many instances of heroism in battle and beyond, and anyone whose painful, debilitating, and fatal disease leads them to seek an exit in death.
It seems to me a serious shortcoming in a book whose subtitle is Understanding Suicide, If you have ever been close to someone who has completed suicide, please consider reading this book, This is the definitive book on suicide and examines the topic through many different lenses personal, psychological, sociological, historical, legal etc with expertise and care, Dr. Kay Jamison, who is the world's leading expert on bipolar disorder, and is also a multiple suicide attempt survivor herself, does an excellent job at examining the subject in an easily accessible manner.

I read this book aboutyears after a close friend completed suicide, and found that it helped me understand some things better, and helped to process the event.
It's packed with information that really challenges you to think and look at the issue through a different angle/perspective, I think this book would also be helpful for people who are

just in the wake of processing a recent suicide, It provides information that is comforting although that may sound odd for those who have recently lost someone, but also helps people finally process a suicide years after the fact.

If you ever have a chance to go hear Jamison speak, do so! She is a marvelous speaker and does and incredible job at explaining very clinical topics with passion and empathy.
That combination of qualities is pretty rare in the field, I'm reluctant to commit to "paper" the thoughts and feelings that Night Falls Fast evoked, It's obviously going to function as a triggering experience for many depressed people, And it will be very distressing for people who have either considered, romanticized, or settled on suicide, Chronicling my emotional engagement with the book here going through all of that again would be too exhausting, It's something, truth be told, I want to put behind me,

An important thing for sufferers of depression who are considering suicide is that they know they are not alone, Night Falls Fast all too often stresses how singular the suffering is, often how difficult it is to express and impossible to communicate, That is true. But it comes very subtly with the conclusion that, well, yes, it's incredibly isolating, As a depressed person, I felt more alone and "outside, " It talks at length about how the proximity of pertinent or salient suicides will often lead to "suicide clusters" or imitative behavior, and yet here we have a book that discusses all facets of the crime.
It may not condone the romanticization or the arguments by which suicides come to their resolutions, but it mentions them, and I can't imagine it would be less than frightening if those arguments sounded familiar to the reader.
I am by no means saying Night Falls Fast is hypocritical, or doing the wrong thing, Just be careful.

To the Rapida scende la notte's detriment it spends a lot of time on inconclusive findings but still plants the seed of possibilityoftruth, which I think can mess with your head.
The phrase "is x times more likely than" occurs more often than my brain can fitfully process, The statistics and neurological components are fine, but disorienting, People seeking some answers in Night Falls Fast will find a sobering amount of inconclusiveness and debate, Once again there are confusing roadblocks due to statistical methodologies and research ethics, and it once again comes down to ferreting out the "nurture" from the "nature," as it so often is with everything.
Insofar as I've come to "understand suicide" from the book, well, . . I don't know. A lot of it has been illuminated, for better or for worse, For worse, possibly, depending on who you are, Just be careful.

The greatness of the book is in its framing of suicide as a public health problem, and its framing of firearms control as in conjunction with mental health.
Nothing so elegantly links the gun control issue to mental health quite like the amount of people who murder themselves by blowing their own heads off, Suicide kills so, so, so many people, It is violent and impulsive more often than not, and guns help that along, Yet I don't remember suicide entering the gun control debate we're mostly concerned with if they will kill others, Sadly, the odds are that, if you are shot with a gun, it's by your own hand, The best parts of this book the Meriwether Lewis essay is excellent, by the by are the ones that frame suicide as a public health problem and the product of a lifethreatening illness.
That is a new perspective for me: it can be an offshoot of a violent, impulsive culture, I find great comfort in relinquishing the total control of the depression sufferer of his or her own life, We have so little control of anything, See what kind of headspace this book can put you in Just be careful,

Depressed people may find themselves empathizing with the selfcondemned here, and not in the healthiest way, It gives some reports about the recovery of the living and the loved ones that will probably be more "encouraging" than not, If you want to kill yourself and the only thing holding you back is how it will hurt those around you, do not read this book, It gives hope to those left behind, but if you're thinking about leaving people behind, just be careful,

I would never kill myself, But in my copy of the book, there is a line that says suicide is a "permanent solution to a temporary problem, " But I managed to write in the side, "But what if living is the problem" Life is still temporary, of course, I don't think I've entered as dark a headspace, Sometimes looking to empathize and understand others and their actions will mess with your head more than is healthy, It's a good book, but for the love of Christ, be careful,
All'età di ventotto anni, dopo un lungo periodo di sofferenze causate dalla depressione, Kay Redfield Jamison, una delle maggiori autorità internazionali nello studio della malattia maniacodepressiva e nel suo trattamento, tentò di togliersi la vita come ha raccontato nell'autobiografia Una mente inquieta.
L'essere sopravvissuta a quella esperienza segnò per lei l'inizio di un'esistenza nuova, dedicata allo studio della malattia mentale e del suicidio, Ora, dopo oltre vent'anni d'indagine scientifica e psicologica sull'argomento e una luga consuetudine con pazienti dalle tendenze suicide, l'autrice ha raccolto in questo libro tutto il bagaglio di conoscenze, ricerche ed esperienze cliniche accumulate intorno a questo devastante problema.
Senza perdere mai di vista la terribile realtà dell'individuo che soffre, Rapida scende la notte squarcia il velo di imbarazzato silenzio che ha sempre circondato e circonda tale comportamento, la sua capacità di insidiare, sopraffare, devastare e distruggere le persone ci aiuta a capire la mente di un suicida per meglio riconoscere i soggetti a rischio e il pauroso turbamento che li induce a un gesto senza ritorno.
Ma, soprattutto, è un libro contro la morte, a strenua difesa della vita, .
