suicide precautions.. things to watch out for..

Surely you have heard the word SUICIDE right? well for those people with an IQ below 20, suicide is an act of intentionally killing yourself... Here's a trivia.. women attemps suicide 2 to 3 times than men but men are generally more apt to die in their attempts! *hahahah!* what does it tell you?simple. in reality men are more stupid than women. just kidding. back to the topic.. in my psychology class earlier, i was fascinated with the behavioral cues or indicators of a person who'll attempt to commit suicide . 80% of those people who attempt suicide give clues.

The most important cue (as what our instructor told us) is when the person begins to lift or to be kinda relieved with his depression (especially after taking anti-depressants). depression-to-"lift" stage is very crucial since the client now has the energy to perform or carry out his well designed suicide scene. other significant signs of suicide are withdrawal, sleepless nights usually accompanied by experiences of early morning awakening (3 to 7 AM), giving out of special items or belongings, and rehearsing, seriously discussing, or asking questions about suicide methods (either specific or nonspecific).

Keep being vigilant over your suicidal friends... it can't just stop him/her from doing such insane act but it is actually more of saving someone else's life.
