United States President Joe Biden said that there was a period in his life when he had suicidal thoughts.
Biden told radio host Howard Stern about this information, URA-Inform reports.
In particular, the 46th President of the United States experienced a difficult time in 1972. Joe Biden admitted that he contemplated suicide after the tragic death of his first wife Neilia and little daughter Naomi in a car accident, as well as the serious injuries of his two sons, Beau and Hunter. It is worth noting that the American president has not previously spoken publicly on this topic.
& #171;You don’t have to be crazy to commit suicide,” Biden said.
This tragedy occurred shortly after Joe Biden was elected US Senator. On December 18, 1972, Neilia Biden and her children went shopping for a Christmas tree. At the exit to the highway, the woman did not notice the approaching truck (the investigation showed that the driver was not at fault).
Biden explained that he abandoned his thoughts of suicide only because of his sons. During the interview, he urged anyone who finds themselves in a desperate situation not to give up and not to be shy about seeking professional help.
We recall that it was previously reported that Budanov admitted what fate awaits him: the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate explained why there are rumors of death.
