10 Ways to Save Yourself from Suicide if You Are Suffering from Depression
Do you have a friend or family member who is suffering from depression and they don’t know what to do? Have you ever had someone close to you commit suicide?
It’s one of the most painful things that can happen. People with depression are more likely to commit suicide, but there are ways for them to cope with their illness.
The first thing people need when they’re feeling suicidal is a support system. They need someone who will listen and help them find professional care if needed.
If your loved one has already attempted suicide once, then they need to see a doctor immediately because there may be underlying issues like mental health problems that aren’t being treated properly.
There are numerous treatment options available today including medication, therapy, lifestyle changes (exercise) and spiritual practices like meditation or mindfulness techniques which all work together towards helping your loved ones feel better about themselves again so they can lead happy lives without any regrets in the future
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people, and it’s on the rise. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 700,000 people die by suicide every year. That’s one person every 40 seconds.
