how to deal with suicide attempt
Things to remember when dealing with a person who has attempted suicide
• Suicide is often due to mental illnesses such as depression or alcohol misuse.
• Many people who attempt suicide have a severe life problem such as marital or financial difficulties.
• Suicide is also associated with long-standing or serious physical illnesses.
• Never take a suicide threat lightly.
• Asking someone about suicidal thoughts does not make it more likely that they will end their life. On the contrary, most will feel relieved.
• Emergency treatment of the suicide attempt is a priority. Once the person is medically stable, treat any
mental illness and identify relatives or friends who can provide support.
