...TIME: When we last met two years ago, Kabul's first major suicide bomb went off during our interview. Since then the militants have grown ever stronger. There have been many devastating attacks, plus an attempt on your life. The casualties will only get worse, I fear. And did you see what's happening in Pakistan?

Unable to turn to their families for help and reluctant to seek mental health care, troubled people often attempt to work problems out on their own, adding pressure to an already strained situation filled with feelings of shame or guilt. "Our study suggests that we need to more precisely determine the kinds of family conflicts that are associated with suicide risk among Asian Americans, and find means of preventing these family problems...
