1.  Durkheim's study on suicide demonstrated that 'the most personal act' of suicide has not only psychological, but social causes.  In this forum, evaluate & discuss Durkheim's views on the cause of suicide.

While the Lecture Review Notes have a more complete discussion of Durkheim's views, a summary is found below. 
I would also encourage you to look at the Supplementary Material in the lecture notes on the Suicide Risk Assessment, the Highland Cavalier article on the level of suicide, & other articles.  

Broadly speaking, for Durkheim suicide may be caused by 
a.  a lack of integration into society, ie being isolated.          Example:  lonely teenager 
b.  being too integrated into society, ie being smothered       Example:  'mindless' cult member or gang member 
c.  a lack of regulation by society, ie too much freedom       Example:  reckless 'party animal'
d.  being too regulated by society, ie be over controlled        Example:  prisoner 

2.  So what is to be done?  
While we should all be on the look out for a friend or acquaintance that may be giving indications they are suicidal, these are preventative steps that respond to symptoms.
(See the Suicide Risk Assessment in the Supplementary Material in the lecture notes)

The challenge is to change society to stop the causes.  How can we do this?
