Suicide Prevention Burnout is Real. Here’s How we can Help

More than 700 000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. It is the 17th leading cause of death in the world. Each year, suicide claims over 1,35,000 lives in India alone. One in 5 people suffers from a mental health disorder in any given year. 45% of people who commit suicide have a diagnosable mental health disorder.

The following can be the warning signs for you to understand that the other person is having suicidal thoughts. For some people:

* Talking or writing about wanting to die or wanting to cause harm to oneself.

* Talking about feeling hopeless

* Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain

* Talking about being a burden to others

.. and many others.

Many times people who commit suicide may not show any suicide warning signs.

Although many people experiencing one or more of these risk factors do not consider suicide, they can be useful in identifying someone at risk of suicide. Often it is used as a cry for help. It can be a sign that someone needs immediate help. Other than physical pain, we can also feel the pain in our minds. This is something we shouldn’t ignore.

Talking about wanting to commit suicide may not be the best way to deal with it. Because if we talk about it, it will further strengthen our suicidal tendency.
