Suicide is the intentional killing of oneself in order to escape reality.

Many people in your

vicinity commit suicide. Who it will be is difficult to guess. According to statistics, the majority of
teenagers consider suicide. Suicide is an increasing problem in today's world. Suicide is a leading
cause of death for a variety of diseases, including depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
Understanding why someone commits suicide is never easy. It's because the strongest instinct of all
living things is to protect themselves. We have a responsibility to learn why others ponder suicide.
During the current pandemic, suicide is an exceptionally important component in our culture. People
are cooped up in their houses, with no one to share their sorrows with. Suicidal thoughts are more
likely to be carried out by people who suffer from depression or have a hereditary susceptibility.
The majority of suicidal people show warning indications or signals that they are planning to
commit themselves. Recognizing these warning signals and knowing what to do if you see them is
the greatest approach to avoid suicide. If you suspect a friend or family member is suicidal, you can
help by pointing out the options, demonstrating your concern, and enlisting the help of a doctor or
psychologist. Talking about killing or harming oneself, talking or writing a lot about death or dying,
and looking for items that could be used in a suicide attempt, such as firearms and drugs, are all
major warning signals for suicide. There is no single cause for suicide. Substance abuse and
untreated depression, for example, might increase your risk of suicide, just as having a supportive
circle of friends does. Suicide warning signs include hopelessness, which is more subtle but equally
harmful. Suicidal people may lose interest in everyday tasks, disregard their appearance, or modify
their food or sleeping patterns dramatically. Meanwhile, friends and family members can do a lot to
assist persons who are depressed or contemplating suicide. It can be exceedingly tough to talk to a
friend or family member about their suicidal thoughts and sentiments. In fact, allowing a suicidal
person to express their feelings helps relieve loneliness and pent-up negative emotions, and may even
avert a suicide attempt. Listen without passing judgment on what they're saying. Don't disregard their
feelings or experiences. Let your loved one know they're not alone and that you're thinking of them.
Access to fatal means is not always linked to fewer deaths, although it is one method of preventing
suicide. A fatal means is a suicide method. When someone chooses to terminate their life with a
pistol, for example, the act is swift and nearly invariably irreversible. Other techniques, such as
taking too many medications or inhaling toxic chemicals, give you more time to think about it or
save your life during an attempt. But don't hold yourself accountable for your loved one's recovery.
You can help a suicidal individual, but you can't make them better. They must commit to their
recovery on a personal level.
Suicide is a complex issue, so suicide prevention must be taken seriously. To establish and
implement a strategy that is appropriate and relevant to the needs of young people, collaboration,
coordination, cooperation, and dedication are necessary. Helping a suicidal person needs a lot of
guts. Seeing a loved one struggle with suicidal thoughts can bring up a lot of uncomfortable feelings.
Remember to look after yourself while assisting a suicidal person. Find someone you can talk to
about your thoughts and gain support from—a friend, family member, pastor, or counselor. The
moment has come for mental health professionals to take proactive and leadership roles in suicide
prevention, potentially saving thousands of young lives.
