Do you think TV show producers should be more careful about depicting suicide?

Suicide rates usually go up after a depiction on tv, esp if it is shown how they do it, statisticaly that method is larger than the method used in previous years (its called the werther effect). it triggers stuff in peoples minds i suppose.
so for example coronation st are doing a suicide story line, do u think that there should be some regulations on suicide stories based on the statistical (is that a word?) evidence that shows there is a direct link (a bit too consistent to be mere correlational with another factor)?
