Abstract

For the past century, suicide has been associated with negative connotations to the liberalistic connotations, however, the fabric of logic and reason behind suicidal ideation continues to exist with countless wrinkles and folds. In my manuscript, a new approach to address the age-old question is provided - CogEpiCrim, which extends the boundaries of our understanding by using the suicidal ideation, not the action, as an infectious disease that can spread across closed communities. The paper describes how CogEpiCrim is used to classify the "existing wrinkles in our understanding as flaws in our approaches, not the fabric". © 2020 The Author
