- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

Across languages
Hindi: सुख — Hindi similarly describes favourable feeling and comfort, with दुःख as an explicit lexical contrast. That lexical contrast does not contradict simultaneous hardship and happiness in the Bangla interview. [REC-CBLEX07]
