Prices correct as 13 December 2019Most people are unaware of the contagious nature of suicide. It can spread as easily as a cold. This contagion is called the “Werther Effect,” named for Goethe’s novel, The Sorrows of Young Man Werther. The book was banned in Europe because the protagonist’s suicide was blamed for the copycat suicides of vulnerable readers.
The Werther Effect in modern society has been documented and proven. A recent example is found in the four months following Robin William’s suicide in 2014. There was an increase in suicides of about 10 per cent, or 1800 additional deaths, recorded in the United States.
The media can be a vector in these cases, spreading the contagion in the way stories of suicide are reported. Grounded in social learning theory, it is thought that fragile individuals who read stories romanticizing suicide are led to believe it’s a viable way to end suffering. Such stories now extend to reports on medically assisted suicide and the sympathetic glamorization of the circumstances surrounding self-determined death.
Until recently, the media has done its part to conscientiously follow guidelines on reporting suicides in order to minimize the contagion. Since euthanasia became legal in Canada, however, it appears that no consideration is being given to how fragile individuals will respond to the way euthanasia stories are reported. As psychiatrists, we worry that the way these stories are being presented will make suicide in general a more attractive option.
Guidelines also state that overly simplistic
