A Reason to Live (2008)

Young adults and their families from all walks of life recount their struggles with depression and suicide attempts. Josh, age 20, tried to jump off a bridge on a Dallas tollway. At 17, Haley swallowed 200 pills. And at 22, Armekia cut herself repeatedly with a razor to relieve the pain. 'When I was depressed, I had awful mood swings. It made me not want to do anything. Some people didn't want to hang out with me. My family couldn't understand why I was acting this way.' Lacy, age 19. The honesty and openness of these individuals bring us face to face with a mental illness that can result in the third leading cause of death among 15-24 year-olds.
