A new nationally representative Canadian study published in the Archives of Suicide Research found that 28.4% of respondents with a history of suicide attempts had reached a state of complete mental health. To be considered in complete mental health, participants had to report freedom from mental illness, such as substance dependence psychiatric disorders, and suicidality in the previous year; almost daily happiness or life satisfaction in the past month; and high levels of social and psychological well-being in the past month.
