Suicide
Fact:
Most people who
commit suicide
have given some
verbal clues or
warnings of their
intentions
Fact:
Suicidal people
are usually
ambivalent about
dying; they may
desperately want
to live but can not
see alternatives
to problems.
Fact:
The opposite is
true. Asking lowers
their anxiety and
helps deter
suicidal behavior.
Discussion of
suicidal feelings
allow for accurate
risk assessment.
Fact:
Although depression
is usually associated
with depression, not
all suicidal people
are obviously
depressed. Once
they make the
decision, they may
appear
happier/carefree.
Fact:
75% of suicidal
individuals will
visit a physician
within the month
before they kill
themselves.
