This is the next big area of research in social sciences. You must research this for national security reasons. Early research came in with the idea of mirror neurons but it went further.
Statistically you're always going to have 'hot spots' for suicide. # per capita etc. So governments trying to help setup suicide hotlines. Not much uptake on this. So they advertised the suicide hotline and suddenly has mass suicide problems.
Been replicated/reported many times, even on Canadian reserves. Cultural, racial doesnt seem to change anything.
Then you have the general crisis in mental health where suddenly lots of people think they have some sort of disorder. Lots of OCD, when really they dont have anything. But it came from advertising and awareness campaigns.
Do the flipside, how about all the motivational speakers who abuse this same mechanism but in a good way? Same with mentalists.
How about people who are being radicalized into violence? How about all the kids suddenly becoming trans? All the same umbrella which social sciences is working on.
