Current Event #2 Summary The COO of the Britannica, Vineet Whig (47), committed suicide with leaving a note behind. The note indicated that Whig did not have any choice other than killing himself and that he does not leave any of the responsibility or blame to his family. Before committing suicide, Whig’s family did not find any suspicious behavior from him, other than returning late from work. After hearing Whig’s death, his father received a heart attack. Relevant Terms Major depressive disorder (16): a mood disorder in which a person feels worthlessness and diminished interest or pleasure in most activities for no reason. Major depressive disorder is typically the most common causes of many suicidal attempts. The cause of Whig’s suicide was not found yet (as of 5/18/16), but in his note, he confessed, “I am unable to cope...I am depressed...I am a coward.” Just looking in the note, Whig had a low self-value and did not indicate his reason for his depression--which indicates that Whig might have had a major depressive disorder before his death. Psychotherapy (17): psychological therapy, a method used to cure patients with mental disorder by trained therapist. Before Whig’s suicide, Whig was seen as normal as usual, according to his family. Whig possibly had a major depressive disorder, but (again, possibly) he did not want to confess that he had the disorder--which means that he lost his chance to receive psychotherapy before it was too late. If Whig had told his…
