Sunshine tied to suicide risk: study
Fri, Sep 12 2014
By Andrew M. Seaman
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Exposure to sunshine over a short period of time may increase the risk of suicide but may also lower the risk over several months, suggests a new study from Austria.
People shouldn’t avoid the sun based on the study’s findings, says its senior author. Instead, they may consider adding sunshine to the list of factors that may influence the risk of suicide.
“Suicide is complicated and has many risk factors,” said Dr. Matthaeus Willeit from the University of Vienna.
“People always tend to think of it in either biological or social terms, but there is no single cause,” he said. “It’s a bunch of risk factors that you have. That is just one of many risk factors.”

This sounds so ridiculous, I have no idea how to even interpret it. Most people are exposed to sunshine on a daily basis...
Found some inspiration for you!
Sunshine on my shoulders, makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes, makes me cry.

I am throwing the bull $hit flag on this stupidity. Next they’ll say too much green grass causes suicides.
suicide, cancer. looks like the Lord didn’t know what he was doing when he created the sun. too bad the American medical association and merck weren’t around back then to advise Him.
I can distantly hear my Psych 101 so-highly-thought of professor: “I know this doesn’t make any sense now, but it’ll all tie together in the end.”
He lied. Somewhat of an education in itself.

Makes sense to me, I guess.

People will say anything to get attention.
Depends if you’re sitting on it or smokin’ it.

If you’re 19 and you stay up all night, it’s like a victory, like you’ve beat the night, but, if you’re over 30, then that sun is like God’s flashlight.- G. Carlin, RIP.
Agreed. Useless.
Absolutely! Can’t see why so many drs oppose it.
this is so ridiculous....I swear they could fashion a “study” to determine that eating apples causes pregnancy if they wanted.
Sounds like the sample was all city people who only got outside rarely or the study was conducted in a gray, depressing climate, to me. It’d have to be, in order to avoid sufficient sunlight to get to the beneficial level of it as far as depression.
Maybe a brief dose of sunshine only served to highlight how very gray and depressing their everyday reality is?
BAN THE SUN!
I bet listening to this song would do the same thing!

“Mr. Blue Sky”
Sun is shinin’ in the sky,
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped rainin’
Everybody’s in a play
And don’t you know
It’s a beautiful new day.
Runnin’ down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.
[Chorus:]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.
Hey there Mr. Blue
We’re so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.
Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky’s
Up there waitin’ and today
Is the day we’ve waited for
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue you did it right,
But soon comes Mr. Night,
Creepin’ over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind I’ll remember you this way.
[Chorus]
