The book talks about suicide from the military, depression, and from mental illness. I thought that most people that committed suicide were mentally ill but that’s not always the case. Suicide can come from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). This disorder mostly comes from serving in the military, so increasing military suicide prevention would save a lot of lives. The book overall was interesting to read and was easy to understand. The chapters are divided up into different aspects of suicide. The book splits up mental health, military suicide prevention and most common suicide methods into different chapters making it easier to take notes. The point that I agree with the most is the point of gun control. With stricter gun control laws, less people would die each day. Before reading this book I knew that guns were the reason for a lot of deaths in the United States, but I didn’t know that guns were the leading method of suicide. As Parks says, “With a firearm once the trigger is pulled, there’s no turning back”(Parks 71). If we increase gun control America will be a safer
