Follow up to the article on post-Katrina Suicides

An update on last week's NY Times article on the three-fold increase on suicides in the New Orleans area:

From WDSU in New Orleans:

"Dr. Elmore Rigamer, medical director of the Associated Catholic Charities, said he believes the report is accurate. His organization has established free depression and suicide prevention assistance for people affected by the storm.

Anyone needing help managing post-Katrina stress or depression should call 866-891-2210"
