Suicide is rampant today, but in "TELL OTHERS" one family has already experienced 10 suicides in less than 5 generations. Young and old alike, family members, successful people, all with lots to live for, still turned to taking their own lives, but why?
Marjorie Struck goes back to the beginning and gives the reader a front row seat to what drives a person to take their own life. She explores the world of depression, alcohol and drug addictions and the inevitable road that leads to suicide. But this story also exhibits new hope. Struck shows that it doesn't have to end in death...there are real reasons and choices, that can change the outcome, but it must start with understanding that this is a disease, just like cancer, or heart disease or diabetes. There is also new information that a gene that is missing in the brain may be onc cause. A person who can get no enjoyment out of anything will eventually turn to all paths that lead to the only conclusion possible...suicide! This gene had been shown to be passed down from generation to generation. The only way to battle this killer is to face it head on! Admit this is a disease, take our heads out of the sand and see there is a medical cause and then get help to combat its effects. The best way to defeat this awful murderous disease is with knowledge and understanding. Marjorie Struck courageously took the first step, will you be willing to join her ...until the day when this disease will be eradicated?
