Suicide is a popular theme in both literature (eg. Shakespeare) and philosophy (eg. Camus referred to it as the only truly serious philosophical problem). In the increasing awareness of mental health issues, why have both fields been largely absent from discourse on suicide? Current attitudes are based on the medical model of suicide, as a pathological state in need of treatment (antidepressants and CBT). What are the reasons for this absence and what is to be done?
