Description
 
 
This article by Andrew S. Mahoney discusses the topic of suicide and lists out some of the signals of suicide. "When discussing the topic of suicide among the gifted population, one runs into the same divergent, often unexplainable, ambiguity associated with this special population. Though there is no conclusive evidence that the gifted are more prone to suicide than the non-gifted (Delisle, 1986), suicide among the gifted is a serious issue."

This is a short article that discusses a very serious issue. It draws a clear picture of suicidal signs. I would recommend this article to parents and educators.
