Let a professional know as soon as you can. By yourself, you will only (perhaps) be able to save them this once. A professional may be more successful in the long run. If the person is being bullied, then a change in surroundings might give them time in a safe place to regroup.
They can be. Usually if someone is suicidal they are depressed, and Depression can be caused by a mental disorder
You should not try to deal with a suicidal person yourself. Someone who is trying to harm themselves should see a professional immediately. You should either call for an ambulance, or help the person to get to the nearest hospital.
Yes we can
ask your friend if he or she is suicidal
hmm... sleepicidal? jk
anyone can be suicidal, if you or someone you know is thinking about suicide please call the Lifeline, a suicide hotline network at 1-800-273-TALK.
Many, if not most, people go through such stages in their life. It does sometimes help to talk to someone else about such matters and their reasons for such feelings.
If your suffering with suicidal thoughts you do not want to keep it to yourself. Reach out and talk to someone. If there is not anyone you feel comfortable speaking to in your life or community, you can call the nationwide hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a weak, and talk things over with someone who knows what you are going through. The number is 1-800-273-8255.
Encourage them to seek help. If you believe they may be suicidal, you should tell someone who can exert some authority. This may seem like a mean thing to do, but if it saves someone's life...well, not doing it would be pretty bad, wouldn't it?
assist suicide and it could be considered murder
Generally you will not be held in the ER, but transferred to a mental health facility. The normal hold time for someone that is suicidal is a minimum of 72 hours.
