Saturday 10 October is World Mental Health Day, hosted by the World Federation of Mental Health.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are more than 800,000 deaths by suicide each year – more than 41,000 of them in the United States.  To help mark WMHD2015, we’re sharing a collection of links below; by understanding the illness, we can help erode the stigma and relate to those who suffer with understanding, and compassion.
