Suicide Warning Signs, Statistics, and Prevention

Lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant medication often used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder, has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in some patients. This risk is generally considered to be low, but it's important for individuals taking lamotrigine to be monitored for any changes in mood or behavior. Patients should report any concerning symptoms to their healthcare provider promptly. As with any medication, the benefits and risks should be carefully weighed by a healthcare professional.

It's important to approach the topic of suicide with sensitivity and care, as it affects many individuals and families deeply. Research indicates that methods can vary by demographic factors such as age, gender, and geographic location. For instance, men often choose more lethal methods, such as firearms, while women might opt for methods like poisoning or overdose. However, each individual's circumstances are unique, and it's crucial to focus on prevention and support for those in need.

Caroline Coleman, a 30-year-old mother from the UK, tragically took her own life in 2014.

Yes, during the Victorian era, individuals did commit suicide by slitting their wrists, among other methods. This period was marked by strict social norms and significant mental health challenges, which could contribute to such tragic decisions. While the act itself was not uncommon, societal attitudes toward suicide were often stigmatized, leading to a lack of open discussion about mental health and the factors contributing to these actions. Literature and reports from the time reflect both the prevalence of mental distress and the sometimes romanticized views of suicide.

William Scoresby Senior, the British whaler and explorer, died in 1857 under circumstances that have led to speculation about suicide.

One notable figure who is often associated with suicide following a loss of spirit and sanity is Virginia Woolf. The renowned author struggled with mental illness throughout her life, and her battle with depression ultimately led her to drown herself in 1941.

Her tragic end highlights the often-overlooked connection between mental health and artistic expression.

I hate to admit, but it took a suicide attempt by myself, and very near to death occurence to realize that suicide was not the answer. If you are having thoughts of suicide you must seek psychiatric help and you must be honest. I had seen therapists for some time, yet I was not honest and it did not help myself. YOU MUST BE HONEST. Unfortunately it took the pain I had caused myself by attempting suicide and the pain I caused my family to realize that I had to be honest with my therapist and psychiatrist as well as realize that no matter what is causing you pain, suicide is not the answer. I can look back now, 8 months later, and realize how sad i was then and how screwed up my thoughts were but now I am actually happy. Unfortunately it took me a suicidal attempt to realize this, but I feel that if you are honest with yourself as well as with your help, then you can beat depression. If you have any questions of how I felt at points of depression please respond to this and I will do my best to respond.

Answer from actual experience:

If you call and hang up, or they just feel like you're in danger of killing your self or someone else they'll 'ping' 911.

A ping too 911 gives them basic info such as 'you overdosed on tylenol'. First the police (and back up) will try knocking on your door, if no answer they break in.

If you answer the door, they'll ask your name and for ID. If you identify as the caller they'll tell you to turn around and put your hands behind your back as 'precautions' Congrats you've just been under arrest for the Mental Health Act. Once you're in handcuffs the paramedics talk to you a bit as-well as the police then they'll bring you to a hospital.

-It gets better here on-

You don't get to wait in the normal emergency waiting room you get to wait in a psych room. Which is a room with nothing in it, reinforced door, high ceilings, and a camera. No one is allowed to talk to you except the doctors. The doctors will come and asses if you need to be seen by the psychiatrist on call. The resident psychiatrist will head down to you and talk to you if she feels like you need to be in psych ward then you're screwed.

Some implications are there. Even if you manage to die without any physical pain, your mental self would have suffered a lot already.
