Suicide Among Student Debtors - Who's Thought About It?

There are quite a number of articles about the concern that suicide rates will increase vis-a-vis to the increased number of people who are facing long-term unemployment (here's the most recent one I've come across). But what about those who are struggling to pay their student loans? Here are several more personal questions I have about this highly sensitive topic:

-Have you contemplated suicide because of the amount of student loan debt you owe?

-Have you started engaging in risky behavior (heavy drinking, using drugs, etc.) because of your student loan debt?

-Are you taking medications, such as anti-anxiety pills or anti-depressants, to cope with being an indentured educated citizen?
