      Whenever I see “Lotte”, I keep thinking of what Goethe added to the 2nd edition of that book to stop young men committing suicide after the first wave: “Be a man; don’t follow me”.

      That’s is so unfortunate. I hope we can all be kinder to each other and be there to help each other.

      because korean great medical systems do not let younger generations die for other reasons such as car accidents, cancers, violence etc.

      The solution would be for Korea to model itself after Nordic countries. 

      Unfortunately, Korea is way too entrenched in conservatism that this approach is extremely unlikely.

      And remember the national health insurance is not great at covering mental health services.

      Things like evaluations, some medication and therapy types, etc. aren’t really accommodated.
