SO you can work with the autistic, but make fun of people on the internet because you think they are stupid for having an opposing opinion... Dude, you are fake as fuck!!!!
And if you had any real knowledge of behaviorism then you would not act the way you do... You could understand your short coming as opposed to projecting them on to others... Maybe you did take a psychology class or two, but you clearly do not understand it obviously...

You, on the other hand, have not only not demonstrated any knowledge of psychology, you've flat out lied about basic psychological truths. One of the first things anyone with any knowledge of psychology learns is correlation =/= causation. A "depressing" environment doesn't cause an increased rate of suicide.

Depression is one of the biggest reason for suicide.... And environmental stimuli has been connected to depression... So, you clearly have no idea what the hell you are talking about... I can correlate all three of environment, depression and suicide... as well as prove the causality as well...
There is a steady amount of people depressed... 15% of them commit suicide... However, if the weather changes in the fall and winter increasing the amount of people depressed... Then the number of suicides will rise as well since 15% of the new amount of depression suffers will commit suicide...
It is easy... If the number of depression suffers rises then so will the suicide rate if 15% of all depression suffers commit suicide...
Environmental causes of depression...

lack of sunlight causes of depression... it cause's seasonal affective disorder
http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disord...epression.aspx
:Weather is an external stimuli from the environment...
:the environments's shitty weather with lack of sunlight does cause depression...
epression causes suicide in about 15% of depressed people...
Conclusion: A depressing environment can cause suicide... doesn't really matter what causes the depression... 15% of depression suffers commit suicide...
So again, you prove you know so little, I am forced to question your so called psychology...

By the way, "depressing" is extremely subjective. Environment alone doesn't drive suicidal thoughts and actions. There are multiple other factors that contribute to that outcome. Depression, by the way, is a neuro-chemical disorder brought on by an increase of a chemical in the brain (I can't remember which chemical off hand), and is generally comorbid (meaning it occurs along with one or more other disorders). Environment is an easy thing to change. It's called "move to another environment".

I never said environment is the only thing that drives suicidal thoughts and actions... Only that it can cause it... which is all I needed to show... And depression is a subjective response to internal and external stimuli...
But depression is a tied to the drop of certain neurotransmitters known as serotonin and even nor-epinephrine... as well as the chemical cortisol... when increased can cause depression...
Either way, why are we arguing about my opinion on weather in Russia???
