Translator disclaimer

This article reviews published data for closing personal escape hatches and expands it with a fourth decision that encompasses and extends beyond the original three escape hatch decisions. Various forms of suicide in addition to physical suicide are addressed. A distinction is made between crisis situations of depression, clinical depression which may lead to suicide, and crisis situations of despair which result in other forms of “not living.” An example of the fourth escape hatch decision is provided.
