@POTUS From Al-Muamadani Hospital to the Jabaliya Massacre, it's all American-made weapons responsible for the deaths of 10,000 including innocent children. Your words hold no weight without an immediate #ceasefire. The day will come when U and Israel face justice for these war crimes.

A friend forwarded a vlog by an anchor person, who [unnecessarily] described details of a suicide and shared his [ignorant] views about Depression. He made the following comments, which are all incorrect.

The channel broadcasting this vlog has over 200k followers. This misinformation is harmful and likely to contribute to the stigma which deters people from seeking help.

Current media interest and attention MUST be used to educate the public about medical facts pertaining to mental illnesses and prevention of suicide.

[Asma Humayun @AsmaHumayun]

About a suicide in Pakistan:

1) Recent developments should help Pakistani powerhouses (political, policy, media, health, religion) reflect. Mental healthcare needs to be prioritized.
It is shocking that a young person who was known to suffer from a [treatable] mental illness and had access to specialist health resources, has died because of lapses in care. Suicides are preventable.

2) One of the earliest lessons in my psychiatric training in the UK was to assess the risk for suicide. Suicides can even happen on psychiatric wards, and one did during my training as well. Doctors and nurses were trained to assess and monitor that risk. People who were at most risk were [then] put on ‘Level 1’ observations. This meant that at NO time, that person was left alone. Even if that person had to use the toilet, a nurse would put their foot in the door.

3) Reportedly, this person was severely unwell and had [or was] receiving ECT (Electro-convulsive treatment). ECT is a highly effective treatment for severe depression. It should NOT be called ‘Bijli ka elaj’, because the term is stigmatizing and deters people from accepting this treatment. Close monitoring for the risk of suicide has to be done during a severe episode (even daily assessments). It is also a known fact that when people start to recover (following treatment), the risk of suicide can increase. Therefore ongoing monitoring is needed.

4) There are so many medical questions about this tragedy. More most being: Quality of mental healthcare? Standard of training of psychiatrists?
Related to the incident: Why was he not in a hospital or safe environment? Why was he alone at home? Why did the guard not know about his risk? Why was there an easy access to a firearm?

5) Then there are serious questions about how this tragedy has been managed by reporters, journalists, newspapers, TV channels, vlogs, social media etc. There are no regulations, no guidelines, lack of sensitivity, unscientific and unethical approach etc.

6) The grieved father, also a religious scholar, stated that his son was so close to Allah that he chose to be with his Almighty. Probably struggling to find solace in his grief [understandable] or perhaps neutralizing the prevalent religious view is that suicides are the result of being detached from faith/religion. When will we understand that people do not kill themselves because they are or aren’t close to Allah. THEY ARE UNWELL. They need medical help.

7) What has been impressive is the courage, honesty and sensibility of the younger brother of the deceased who recorded a brief video message stating facts and requesting privacy and respect for his brother and their family.

ہمارا تیل ختم ہونے والا پے۔ جنریٹرز بند ہوجائینگے۔ چند ہی گھنٹے بچے ہیں۔ تمام ونٹیلیٹرز اور دُوسرے آلات کام کرنا بند کردینگے اور اتنی بڑی تعداد میں ہلاکت ہوگی مریضوں کی کہ کبھی ہسپتال کی تاریخ میں نہیں ہُوئ ہوگی۔

الشفا ہسپتال غزہ۔

I have never disliked or hated a tweet as much as this one. To feel pleasure in someone else’s pain just to satiate one’s own insecurities and need for attention. Not even basic iota of sensitivity ? Anyone can die from suicide. Stop parroting your sick narrative

Don't just boycott Israeli based companies. Boycott all Muslim companies who r not visibly and effectively contributing towards the political and financial pressure on their respective governments towards palestine. Become the soldiers u were born to be as Muslims.
