Having more kids reduces women's suicide risk

Motherhood - Mothers often have more supportive social network than women who do not have children.

Researchers at Kaoshiung Medical University, Taiwan looked at data of 1,292,462 women over 20 years and found that motherhood has a protective effect and cuts the chance of a woman killing herself. The risks fall further the more children a woman has, they discovered. Motherhood raises a woman's self esteem and the more children she has, the lower the risk of committing suicide. What are your views my fellow mylotters?

I think this is just normal. I think the reason why theres even more less risk if you have more children is because you always have a little one to take care of. Little kids are the hardest to live since you know they can't take care of themselves and needs constant guidance.
