Most suicides suffer from depression.

According to Professor Cristóbal Gastó, coordinator of the depressive disorders program at the “Hospital Clinic de Barcelona”, the 80% of suicides have a depression diagnostic or one in curse. At a meeting of the Spanish Society of Psychiatry and the American Association of Psyquiatry held in Madrid, the professor said: "The suicidal behavior can not be extrapolated to a single source and a single pathology. The person who commits suicide has a mental disorder, moments before, days before its implementation. Many suspect that there is not such thing as a lucid suicide”.

Dr. Pedro Ruiz, former President of the American Psychiatric Association stated that "95% of people who kill themselves tell their doctor before ending their life. Usually they warn the family doctor, but many doctors take it lightly and do nothing. "

Another specialist, the specialist psychologist in anxiety and depression Ricardo Ros, has ensured that suicides are a "direct result" of depressions that are not treated correctly.
