Night Falls Fast by Kay Redfield Jamison
Suicide is the third biggest killer of young people in the Western world, and in the closing decade of the 20th century it reached epidemic proportions. This is an analysis of the phenomenon of young suicide, written by a survivor of a suicide attempt. Using scientific exploration, case-studies and clinical research this book tries to understand why suicide is so prevalent in societies which seem to have everything.
