Summary: Wonderful
Comment: .. I've got a good (well, depressing) 18 years of being severely depressed, with a few dysthymic (sp?) episodes thrown in for good measure. Being alive has often felt like pergatory-maybe worse... and... suicide... *is* an option, and it's one that I fight not quite on a daily basis, but very near. The thought of suicide is like my twin, if that makes sense. It's always there, a very comforting thought, but a thought that I'd REALLY like to go away - which is why I picked up this book. I've only read a few chapters and... I was *comforted* right away. It's so helpful to know that someone "out there" understand, and is trying to give you a life rope. I consider this book life jacket, and hope anyone in pain reads this.

Summary: Invaluable
Comment: This is one of the most compassionate books for those who are suffering in pain due to mental disorders. I have been battling severe depression and suicidal thoughts for some time. The gentleness and care from the author allowed me to open my heart enough to be able to read this book to the end. It was comforting and yet realistic at the same time. When we roam in the darkenss of suffering and pain, we tend to become blind and forget essential facts that may save our lives. I must admit that I have not been able to conquer my suicidal thoughts but "Suicide, the Forever Decision" helps me "fight" my illness. The book stays by my bedside.
Dr. Quinnett, reading your book makes one feel that they are sitting in an office and listening to your words with comfort. I believe that this is due to your understanding and care for this illness. In the near future, I will be volunteering and participating in a research project on antidepressants. I look forward for future writings from you not only for myself but for many others who are fighting the "beast". I thank you.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: I work on a inpatient psychiatric unit and everyday we have patients who are on our unit with suicidal ideation. We use this book as mandatory reading for those patients. The feedback we receive has been great. We have yet to have anyone say they did not get anything out of it. Most of the patients have taken the book home with them. Staff have also read this book and we all feel that it is a great book that presents suicide in a very compassionate yet matter-of-fact manner. It has probably saved many lives. Thank you Paul!
