Suicide and suicidal behavior

People trying to live their lives try to eliminate situations that are often impossible. Many people trying to commit suicide are seeking relief.

Suicidal behavior may occur when someone finds overwhelming circumstances or events like the following.

Men are more likely to die of suicide than females, but women are twice as likely to commit suicide than women.

Most suicide attempts will not lead to death. Many of these attempts were made in a way that makes rescue possible. These attempts are often asked for help.

Some people try to commit suicide in a way that is less likely to be fatal, such as intoxication or overdose. Men tend to choose violent means such as shooting themselves. As a result, male suicide attempts are likely to lead to death.

Relatives of people trying to kill or accomplish suicide often blame themselves or get extremely angry. They may think that suicide attempts are selfish. However, people who try to commit suicide often mistakenly believe that they will bring themselves out of the world and help their friends and relatives.

Although not always, people usually take certain signs and behaviors such as the following before attempting suicide.

Self-destructive behaviors such as mass drinking, using illegal drugs or cutting body

People may need urgent treatment after trying to commit suicide. They may need first aid, CPR or more intensive care

People trying to commit suicide may need to stay in the hospital for treatment and reduce the risk of future attempts. Treatment is one of the most important parts of treatment

It is necessary to evaluate and treat all psychiatric diseases that may lead to suicide attempts. This includes:

Always try hard to commit suicide and the threat seriously. If you or a person you know is considering suicide, you can receive confidential support for free and anytime anywhere at any time 1-800-273-8255 (1-800-273-TALK) with National Suicide Prevention Lifeline You can call.

If someone you know is about to commit suicide please call your local emergency number (like 911). Please do not let this person alone even after asking for help.

Please do not put the gun at home. If you have guns at home, lock them and divide the bullets

Many people trying to commit suicide talk about it before they try. Sometimes you can reduce the risk of suicide simply by talking without having to worry about it.

But if you know a friend, family, or someone you might think you might try to commit suicide, do not attempt to solve the problem yourself. I ask for help. Suicide Prevention Center provides telephone "hotline" service

Please call 911 or the nearest emergency number immediately. Or if you can do this safely, I will bring this person to the emergency room in the nearest hospital

Suicide infection refers to the exposure of suicide or suicidal behavior by a family member, colleague group, or media suicide report and may lead to an increase in suicidal behavior and suicidal behavior. Direct and indirect exposure to suicidal behavior has been shown to increase suicidal behavior among people at risk of suicide, especially among adolescents and young adults. The risk of suicide transmission caused by media coverage can be alleviated by facts and concise media suicide coverage. Long-term exposure increases the possibility of suicide propagation, so please do not repeat the report about suicide. Since suicide is a consequence of many complex factors, media coverage should not report overly simple explanations such as recent negative life events or acute stress. The report should not disclose a detailed description of the method used to avoid potential duplication.

Suicide is a matter of public health. Best practices should be used to inform media and online suicide. The way the media reports suicide is to positively influence behavior by promoting infection or encouraging aid. If reporting death from suicide please refer to the following resources for best practices. Reportingonsuicide.org
