Quick help for suicidal thoughts and other mental health emergencies will soon be 9-8-8 which will connect callers with trained mental health counselors SuicidePrevention
Researchers still haven't nailed down how to better predict who's at risk for attempting suicide, and whether or when vulnerable people will do it, said Justin Baker, clinical director of The Suicide and Trauma Reduction Initiative for Veterans at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
But there are some situations wherein a person who is suicidal and planning for a longer period of time will show behavioral changes, Baker added. Other potential behavioral red flags include giving away cherished belongings, sleeping too much or too little, withdrawing or isolating oneself, showing rage or desire to enact revenge, and acting anxious or agitated, according to Roeske, Baker and SAMHSA. Getting really intoxicated one night or driving recklessly could also be signs to watch out for, Roeske said.
"On the one hand, we don't want people to shy away from the topic of suicide. We want people to approach and even use the word with others and have discussions around it," Roeske said. But if a depiction or account gratuitously romanticizes or justifies the sense of relief that might be garnered from suicide, that's problematic.If any of these signs resonate with you, seek professional help and talk with someone you can trust and feel supported by, Baker said.
As the person responds, you can, to some extent, listen, express appreciation for them sharing their story and offer to help figure it out together, without offering advice on how to handle it, Baker said. But if your loved one seems more at risk or in the process of attempting suicide,"you no longer have time or the luxury to get their opinion," he added. Get medical care or call 911.
