THE LINK BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE Sometimes depression can lead to suicidal thoughts…why? Blue october into the ocean

THE LINK BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE Sometimes depression can lead to suicidal thoughts…why? Depression overwhelms the mind and body. The person wants to find a way to end the pain. Suicidal thoughts can begin. A person suffering from depression has a difficult time thinking clearly and rationally. This is why it is so important for those suffering from depression to get the help they need.

Utah statistics: Every day in Utah, About 500 Utahns die from suicide each year. Almost 4,000 Utahns attempt suicide each year. Every day in Utah, Two youth (ages 10-17) are treated for suicide attempts. Two young adults (ages 18-24) are treated for suicide attempts. Suicide is now the leading cause of death among youth ages 10-19 in Utah.

Teens who talk about suicide are doing it for attention. TRUE OR FALSE? Teens who talk about suicide are doing it for attention.

TRUE They NEED attention. They are reaching out for help. They need to people to listen to them and to help them.

Most people who are suicidal are depressed. TRUE OR FALSE? Most people who are suicidal are depressed.

TRUE The reverse of this statement is not true. It doesn’t mean that most depressed people will attempt suicide. Many people with depression will have no thoughts of suicide.

TRUE OR FALSE? Suicidal people want to die, therefore, there is no way of stopping them.

FALSE Suicidal people do not necessarily want to die, they just want their pain to go away. They are struggling to find a solution and therefore need our help.

Talking about suicide will cause someone to attempt suicide. TRUE OR FALSE? Talking about suicide will cause someone to attempt suicide.

FALSE Not talking about it could make it worse. It will help those contemplating to realize that there is support and help for them, and hopefully encourage them to seek help. It will also help those who suspect someone is contemplating suicide to know that it is okay to be open, ask question, and get others help.

Once a person is suicidal, they are always suicidal. TRUE OR FALSE? Once a person is suicidal, they are always suicidal.

FALSE Suicidal feelings are usually temporary. A person who has received help for suicidal thoughts or behavior can live very productive lives.

WHY DON’T PEOPLE TALK ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS OR SUICIDE? How many of you have broken a bone? What did you do about it? Why don’t we do the same thing for depression, suicidal thoughts, etc? Isn’t your mental health just as important as your physical health? STIGMA: Something that has a negative association attached to it.

WARNING SIGNS of SUICIDE Sudden or extreme changes in mood or personality Prolonged depression Consistent low energy level Avoidance of activities with friends or family Taking greater risks than usual Substance abuse Giving away prized possessions Talking about death or making suicide attempts Making suicide threats
