Sir: The constantly increasing suicide rate in our society is quite alarming. The rates of teenage suicide are rising exceptionally fast because many of them are suffering from depression, anxiety and other mental disorders. The causes of these disorders can be discerned easily if one observes our flawed society. Social isolation, lack of jobs, anxiety about academics is all leading our young people to take their own lives. I urge parents in this country to keep an eye out for depression and other mental disorders in their children. Rehabilitation of such people is needed as well as emotional support. Otherwise the consequences can be dire. MAHNOOR NASIR Islamabad Published in Daily Times, November 25th 2017.
