In general, most christians consider suicide a sin. As the motives of suicide are revealed through recent studies, depression seems to be one of the factors. Depression is regarded as one of the most influential causes of suicide. In contrast to the christian perspective of suicide,
recent psychiatric studies found that we can regard suicide as a disease. Disease should be cured, but a sin should be repented. If we focus more on the aspect of sin, emphasis of restoration is upon repentance. However, if we focus more on the aspect of disease, emphasis of care is upon curing and prevention. In order to 􀁲cure􀁳suicidal motives, christians
should regard suicide more as a disease than as a sin.
