Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

    It’s really about not being sued by someone’s family for claiming that they got the idea from the show.

      Oh please, there are hundreds if not thousands of stories about suicide out there and they don’t have warnings

      Stop being so overly cynic, trust me, it’s not as edgy as you think it is

        It’s notable that you needlessly made this personal…almost as if you existed at trump levels of projection.
