What are Suicidal Thoughts?
Suicidal thoughts can range from brief considerations of self-harm to detailed planning. While not all thoughts result in action, they are always a sign of extreme distress and should be taken seriously. Suicidal ideation is often linked to mental health conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, or substance abuse.
Suicidal Thoughts Causes and Risk Factors
Factors that can contribute to suicidal thoughts include:
- Mental health disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, or anxiety disorders.
- Substance abuse, which can impair judgment and lead to impulsivity.
- Stressful life situations, including relationships, financial problems, or chronic illness and pain.
- Family history of suicide or exposure to suicidal behavior.
Suicidal Thoughts Symptoms
Symptoms of suicidal ideation can vary but may include:
- Talking about wanting to die or to kill oneself.
- Feeling trapped or in unbearable pain.
- Expressing feelings of hopelessness or having no reason to live.
- Preoccupation with death, dying, or violence.
- Feeling like a burden to others.
- Increasing use of alcohol or drugs.
