Abstract

The increased suicide rate among the aboriginal youth is an indication of ‘youth crying for

help’. The indigenous youth is not open to understanding ‘what is more to life’ and they have

closed doors to a ‘therapy culture’. We all live in a ‘therapy culture’. If parents can’t help,

then help should be taken from a professional psychotherapist.

(Altman, 2008)

There is more to learn and appreciate about the culture of humanity and the way it has

developed over the years. Hence, rather than blindly believing in culture, we are better off

knowing more about it. Firstly, one should not try to define a culture because it will never

define us and secondly, one should not limit their existence by living within the boundaries of

a culture.

(American Psychiatric Association, 2000)
