No one saw my Pain: why Teens Kill Themselves Book Review – No one saw my Pain by A E Slaby and L F Garfinkel

This review describes Slaby & Garfinkel’s text as an unique & potentially useful compilation of case studies & information about depression, suicide & suicide bereavement. The reviewer notes that several topics related to suicide & depression are addressed including homosexuality, mental illness, & substance abuse. Two drawbacks of this book are cited: some readers may have difficulty identifying with the stories; & some extreme case studies are recounted that may not be representative of common experiences.
