The mother, the wife of a Russian military officer, held her young kids in her arms as she fell. She had reportedly written a note saying she did not want to leave her children in this “hard, gloomy world”. “She complained to her acquaintances that she had postnatal depression,” a law enforcement source told Komsomolskaya Pravda, “She felt lonely and tired.” Her husband was treated for shock when he arrived at the scene.

It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers. It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes. And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women. Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now. That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign. The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
