Was randomly surfing on google about mental disorders (kind of a pet topic for me) and came across this article about suicide, and I quote:

"Suicide is a serious health problem."

Pardon me, but if you commit suicide, aren't you kind of... dead? What health problem? Or more specifically, what health? (Of course there're things such as completed suicide and attempted suicide, and they are talking about mental health, but the phrasing just amused me.)

Other interesting observations: The opposite of euphoria is dysphoria. But why is the opposite of a dystopia an utopia, and not an eutopia?

Nemo nisi mors.

utopist. dreamer. cynic. poet. a contradiction. eccentric. cartesian. a starlight in the gloom.

The patient, born in 1984, suffers from a history of idealism of unknown onset and duration.
