I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure everything leading up to finally offing yourself is likely pretty damned difficult.
It's generally from a lack of education, to which a lot of the blame falls on our government for failing to properly teach our population about mental illnesses.

It's getting way better, but Canadian society as a whole is still pretty ignorant towards illnesses and disease they haven't experienced in their families or close circles.

And when ignorance comes into play with something that produces results that surprise or confuse (aka suicide, schizophrenia) human beings turn ugly and tend to push away science and facts because they want to demonize.
