In a recent story on CNN it said that "Images of suicide, be they in art, cinema or news media, can make the act seem more real to vulnerable people, who have probably been suffering from depression or other mental illness and feel stressed, experts say. Something like the mosaic at Dostoevskaya isn't all bad or good, but it can affect people already at risk, said Nadine Kaslow, a psychologist at Emory University."
Listening to the wrong music or reading the wrong book can lead someone who is already weak to commit suicide. My own mother swears that my brother experience suicidal thoughts because of the music he listened to. Do we sometimes listen to songs that encourage sadness? Just as listening to a song can make us happy it can also make us sad.
Studies have shown that when the music is preferred it doesn't tend to have negative emotional effects but when it comes to heavy metal and not liking it, it leaves you feeling hostile and angry.
