Nowadays, suicidal individuals are no longer – or at least less often – compelled to lead isolated lives. They are no longer the outcast one has to protect oneself against at all cost; they have people close to them, and generally have both a working and a social environment.
Désormais, le suicidaire n’est plus/est moins contraint à l’isolement, paria dont il faut à tout prix se protéger; il a des proches, le plus souvent un entourage professionnel et social.
