I have already provided a local link to a spiritualist church.
For conventional medical help she must go to her GP and tell them she is having sucidal thoughts. They will then refer her to a psychiatrists clinic. Referal could take several weeks, but if she tells them she is seriously suicidal she may be taken straight into a mental hospital. |

Manchester is a big place, but her GP should be the first call. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Suicide...ting-help.aspx |

Because it's rubbish and dangerous. Blindingly obvious to me. I'm surprised your third eye doesn't let you see that. You have demonstrated repeatedly that your irrational beliefs make you the very last person who someone with suicidal tendencies should take advice from. The link you offered to the pretend church is of no use whatsoever. I'd ask how you know that it's location, in Stockport I believe, is even near to MSs location. As I stated, Manchester is a big place. Ironically, or in your terms prophetic, when MS stated her location I was booking a flight from Glasgow int to Manchester int. which I'm sure you are aware is in Stockport. I'll be listening to records next. The big ones not the small ones of course. Ms please check the NHS link I gave, it contains phone numbers of organisations who don't practice nonsense. The Samaritans would be a good one. |

I rarely get outraged about posts made by strangers. Im outraged. None of us are qualified to diagnose a medical condition of an anonymous forum poster. Scorpion even less so. I strongly suggest that MS reads the link I gave and to ignore Scorpions flippant nonsense. |

So what? The best you can offer in this thread to someone struggling with suicidal depression is a link to a qualified medical professional and/or center, such as the NHS link. Anything else is just quackery. Since the NHS link has been posted, and solid advice offered to seek help from a qualified professional, why don't you try leaving it up the lady to pursue that, and back out of the conversation? She may benefit from spiritual sustenance, if those are her beliefs, but she needs more than just that if she is truly suicidal.
Who gives a **** about little old ladies in Russia? |

Well, apparently, if she is suicidally depressed, God isn't doing her much good right now.
Jesus, man, she needs help from a health professional, not a spiritual church. No one here is trying to "religiously repress" her, just advise her to the best help for her. Get a grip. |

Meanwhile, back in the real world: http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNH...eservices.aspx The Samaritans, non- religious organisation just in case any Russian ladies from last century are reading this, is a good starting point. Phone call is quickest. They won't judge. An in person visit is available. They have an office on Oxford Street. 0161 236 8000 The national number is 08457 909090 Email is an option but looks like it could be a slower process. jo@samaritans.org |

The placebo effect for one. Someone become so jumped up on good vibes and wanting to believe/ be a part of the spectacle they ignore symptoms, until the condition gets worse. The fake healers chalk it up as a win, and the person is left in a worse situation than if they got real medical attention.
