Read This/ Not this

Actually, there are some sources credible, and some are not. I would like to share my thoughts with you what sources are worth to read whereas some are not! Read that, not that!
I think we’d better avoid some sources which could bias our view towards this myth. For example, the 3 sources I am going to mention below.

1. The article which was written by Bradvik and Berglund. Actually, it was a good research to give the audience the history about depression and suicidal actions. However, I think this article was focused on the depression too much. Since it just mentioned that the depression caused people to commit suicide, it did not balance the facts. Then, people put more attention on the relationship between depression and suicide, and this myth will be reinforced in readers’ mind by just reading the “relationship”. Although references and evidences were included in this research, it is quite subjective by emphasizing the correlation between suicide and depression only which can make people think “Depression causes Suicide”.

2. This is a source with data to demonstrate what the authors said. However, this article was not really convincing, nor helping people to buster the myth. So, I would not recommend this source. This paper stated people commit suicide because they were low self-evaluated which meant they got depression. Moreover, it just emphasized the correlation between suicide and depression, this is the reason they kept mentioning how people be saddened by the social networking. The authors did that research with bias – depression causes suicide. After reading this article, I didn’t learn anything. This article was like discussing more about on gender differences and the correlation which is not really related to the real factors of depression and suicide.

3. I do not recommend this source because this article was biased. The topic revealed what the authors want to discuss in the papers. They stressed only on depression and suicide which were the main points of this article. Although it mentioned the numbers to prove their opinions, they ignore other factors such as environmental factors or other mental disorders. If you want to study the causation about depression and suicide, this is a good article. However, it is not a good source for people who want to shatter this myth. This is an one-sided article.

More scientific way, data based:

This is one of the best sources I found. It concluded clear content to express if depression is only reason caused people commit suicide. It also did the research with a large nation sample which can be trustful. Moreover, this article not only tested the psychological disorder such as depression, anxiety disorders, but they also did some tests on the medications for those patients with mental disorder. This research could tell people about suicide in another way and demonstrate not only depressed people kill themselves, but many other factors.

This article “Suicidal Behavior in Adolescents with First-Episode Psychosis” is objective. It also offered the statistical information for the reader to know more about the situation of the suicidal behavior happened in adolescence. Although there is lots of data based information. However, I wonder how long the research took. If they did the research shortly, it should not be counted as powerful sources. Since the world changes consistently, it need more time to figure out the patterns.

Expressing in broad way:
This article I found on PsychArticles which was written by Skarbø, Rosenvinge and Holte. I think this article was really well-organized. Moreover, it discussed different parts from the perspectives of Psychiatry more objectively. This research was done based on the previous various reports which meant they already had some basic information about the topic. Moreover, it tested not only one subject, but few more different subjects in order to compare to each one and talked about how they related to suicidal actions.

This was an article written by Werth, Jr. It is worth to read because this article has covered many areas. As we can see, the researchers did the study really carefully and objectively. He was not only discussing about the psychological issues which are depression etc, but he also talked about the epidemiological issues such as stress from the work and responsibilities of the therapists. Moreover, this source was done in recent years which meant it could catch up the rhythm of today society. Since this article discussed different aspects of suicide actions, we can see widely how other action that might motivate people to choose to commit suicide.

Longitudinal Research ( More convincing):
This research was done by MacDonald, Taylor and Clarke. 9 years was kind of long period which could figure out if anything went wrong in order to make the results to be consistent. Moreover, this research was reliable because the researchers have cited so many sources to prove their points which are really powerful evidence to convince the audience. And they told the audience to declare the word of “suicide”. Are the thoughts of suicide also counted as the group of committing suicide as well? The research can help audience to make clear of suicide. It also aided us to balance our thoughts; for example, it told the audience to think of other reasons such as drug abuse which can cause people to commit suicide too. It is also included in the survey were items assessing stimulant, analgesic, inhalant, and heroin dependence
