"The source of it appears to be a financial state, a crisis if you will, that this man became embroiled in that has unfolded over the past weeks," Moore said.

The man wrote in his suicide letter that he felt he had two options — to just kill himself or to kill himself and his family — and decided the second option was more honorable, Moore said.

I worry about the toll that the U.S. economy is taking on people's mental health.

That's sad. I suspected Japan had a high-suicide rate, but didn't know it was that bad.

He has saved around a 150 people who had planned to kill themselves, many more men than women. Often their problems are to do with work.

How sad. I hope everyone keeps a positive outlook on life even when beset with problems. Negativity will only add to your troubles.
