Forbes magazine has published a series of articles on the understanding, treatment, and prevention of suicidality on their website. These articles are not perfect - as a Joiner lab member, I obviously would have hoped to see work on the interpersonal-psychological theory in there - but they do a substantially better job of discussing this important topic than is typically seen in main stream media and should be applauded for that.
I recommend that you share your thoughts on this topic both on Forbes and on PBB.
Here are links to each of the articles in the series:
Medicine's suicide problem - Part 1
Medicine's suicide problem - Part 2
The woman who stops patients from killing themselves -- Marsha Linehan is the subject of this one
The sick patients that Glaxo, Pfizer, and Lilly refuse to help
The military's fight against soldier suicides
A vaccine against suicide?
