«Rudy Nydegger writes about suicide and mental illness as if neither topic were taboo, nor the province of experts only. And that's his point. His book, Suicide and Mental Health, published last year, presents the subjects in a straight forward, non-judgmental way. Nydegger intended it to be accessible to readers as young as high school students, who may have friends struggling with depression or thinking about ending their lives. . . . Its direct approach works well in puncturing some cultural assumptions about suicide, such as the idea that only mentally ill individuals would consider ending their lives intentionally.»
