Joe Estes Reynolds, a University of Georgia junior in agricultural engineering, was found dead Oct. 18, 1993, with a gunshot wound to the head and a gun lying between his legs. Police said they were treating his death as a suicide until test results return from the crime lab. Psychologists said there are a number of reasons why young people could be depressed enough to kill themselves. James Calhoun, a psychology professor at the University of Georgia and a practicing clinical psychologist in Athens, said loneliness is often a major factor in suicide cases. "Some reasons for their depression are feeling isolated, feeling they have no friends, feeling alone, feeling like they're all by themselves or feeling that nobody loves them," Calhoun said. Calhoun added that college-age students are possibly at risk because most have moved away from home r .1 f ...? ior me ursi ume.

Apple, the Apple logo, Macintosh and Power Book are i s can lead dent suicides i ships," he said. Richard Born, an Athens psychologist who specializes in depression, said most people who kill themselves mention they are thinking about taking such a step, and they need to be taken seriously if they mention it repeatedly. "Most people who kill themselves usually give an indication," Bom said. "It may be subtle, but something is said. ] "A lot of people will entertain the thought of suicide sometime in their life, so not everybody who mentions it will actually follow through." Calhoun said he agreed that most people who commit suicide mention it at some point before they follow through. < "A lot of people who commit suicide have talked about it, sometimes explicitly, sometimes vaguely," he said. , If people go into detail about how they would like to kill themselves, then they probably need help, Calhoun said. Lynne Reeder, director of a counseling center in Athens, said even though the counseling center was there to help, many people won't talk about killing themselves in a counseling situation. ? "Not a lot of students talk about it, and just because they do doesn't mean they're going to do it," she said. } purpose ID helpful in the United been consultants to more than 50 option of paying universities interested in similar ;h their universi- systems.
