Stephen Fry attempted suicide....again.

This hit the news in the last couple of days.


Stephen Fry is well known for having had problems with depression and having attempted suicide in the past.

In a recent interview covered here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/celebrity-news-video/10102538/Stephen-Fry-opens-up-about-2012-suicide-attempt.html he talks about what happened to him in 2012.

The quote at the end stood out for me.
"You may say, how can anybody who's got it all be so stupid as to want to end it all? That's the point, there is no why – it's not the right question.
"There's no reason. If there were a reason for it, you could reason someone out of it."
Reasoning is not the answer. Underlying issues of an emotional nature will always overwhelm reason.
