Juan has made a organized plan on how he would like to commit sucide. He stated he would just drive a care off the bridge and another point is added. He also has no partner, and that can add more to his depression so that adds another point. Lastly, Juan does not have any sickness regarding cancer, aids, and other deadly sickness so no point will be added. I would also agree that he should be hospitalized on these terms, until we can find a way to narrow his depression, but he is at a high risk.

Although, moratorium people do not avoid the issue they have come across, instead they think about it constantly, and are controlled by their feeling about what choices they should choose.
