Suicide Mental Health Unit Lecture 11

Facts about Suicide Suicide is the act of intentionally taking one’s own life. Many people who have considered suicide considered it for only a brief period. Most people who have attempted suicide and failed are grateful to be alive.

Facts about Suicide People who have attempted suicide often asked for help in an indirect way. Drug and alcohol use can put people at risk of acting on suicidal thoughts because judgment is impaired.

Teens and Suicide Suicide is the third leading cause of death for people between 15 and 24. Physical and emotional changes in the teen years can make you more emotional, impulsive, and focused on the present.

Teens and Suicide What can you do to balance out these feelings? Think about consequences before you act. Don’t solve temporary problems with permanent solutions. Seek help when you need it.

Warning Signs for Suicide Feeling hopeless Withdrawing from family and friends Neglecting basic needs Loss of energy Taking more risks Using alcohol and drugs Giving away personal things

Giving and Getting Help Thoughts of suicide are serious and require help. If you are feeling depressed or having suicidal thoughts, ask a trusted adult for help.

Giving and Getting Help If you think a friend is thinking about suicide: Take all talk of suicide seriously. Tell your friend that suicide is not the answer. Change negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Don’t keep a secret. Help your friend get the help of an adult.
