Depression And Suicide – Twin Afflictions
Many people who suffer from depression think of suicide. This is because, with depression, their mind stops
thinking logically though, at that time, it feels extremely calm and clear. This malady tends to show the
world and life in the worst possible light; it is not surprising that some people who suffer from this emotional
problem end up committing suicide. You can prevent this, and also help the person get rid of this malady, if you
learn to read the signs.
When You Should Know That Depression And Suicide Are On The Mind
Depression can attack anyone, at any age. This is why there are a number of research studies and interviews
going on about the seriousness of the depression and suicide emerging trends in colleges and universities. It is
extremely sad that, at the age where students should be preparing themselves for exams and building their career
graphs, they think of death and suicide.
Train yourself to check out for the following signs. You may be able to prevent one such case when the need and
opportunities show themselves. The signs to watch for include:
1. The person in question all of a sudden develops an unusual interest in the subject of death and/or suicide –
in spite of obviously creeping people off, he/she insists on staying on the depression and suicide subject and
doggedly talks about it in all earnest.
2. You observe that this person is slowly disposing off his/her favorite belongings – in a very similar way as
if they were memorabilia.
3. The person hits the bottle heavily and all of a sudden he/she is game to try anything you mention even in
jest. Everything!
4. People who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts usually have extreme mood swings. At one time
they will literally be bubbling with joy, while the next moment they will be in an entirely different time
zone.
5. The person talks about being dead in a positive way. They tend to imagine themselves dead, and behave as if
they want and could wish for it; in that case people can go home and die in peace.
Keep in mind that depression and suicide are very serious afflictions which can cost lives. Besides the fact
that it can be prevented, there are many highly potent medications available in the market, as well as alternative
medication. Exercise, mediation, yoga, positive thinking, etc., if applied regularly, will be able to reverse this
malady from achieving its logical end.
