Only a minority of people affected by depression experience suicidal thoughts, and suicide accounts for less than 1% of deaths.  However, more than 60% of suicides are by people who were depressed at the time, and this accounts for more deaths than are caused by road traffic accidents.

When Someone You Know is Suicidal gives you the basic information that you need to know, and offers a list of "do's" and "don'ts", so that you know what to do if you are faced with a crisis.
