depression"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>Suicidal depression&nbsp;<\/strong>is not an&nbsp;entirely accurate and, in&nbsp;official terminology, a non-existent term.&nbsp;But&nbsp;it should be noted that almost any&nbsp;depression, as&nbsp;it progresses, can be suicidal.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A feeling of hopelessness, hopelessness, a sense of the meaninglessness of one&#8217;s own existence&nbsp;are those&nbsp;emotions that, with their prolonged&nbsp;exposure, become completely unbearable for a person in a&nbsp;state of depression.&nbsp;Thus, suicidal depression&nbsp;is almost any depressive disorder, because according to global statistics, the vast majority of suicides are committed by people who are&nbsp;depressed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we will&nbsp;look at two of the most important questions: how to recognize that a&nbsp;depressed&nbsp;person&nbsp;has intentions to commit suicide, and&nbsp;what to&nbsp;do about it?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Signs of suicidal thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>depression, talk about the&nbsp;meaninglessness of life, its&nbsp;hopelessness;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>loss of interest&nbsp;in activities that were previously enjoyable;&nbsp;<\/li><li>having one or more attempts at suicide

suicide;<\/li><li>indirect references to&nbsp;those who have already died and&nbsp;their identification&nbsp;with&nbsp;themselves;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>abrupt onset of drug or alcohol abuse.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to do if&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>you suspect a&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>loved one intends to die&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Understand that the suicidal behavior of a patient with depression is not a&nbsp;desire to die&nbsp;, but&nbsp;an attempt to end unbearable suffering.&nbsp;Even if it seems to you that a&nbsp;person has no&nbsp;obvious reasons&nbsp;for this: he&nbsp;does not&nbsp;experience loss, does not&nbsp;experience financial difficulties, and, in&nbsp;general, his life is prosperous, this does not&nbsp;mean&nbsp;at all&nbsp;that his words (hints) of&nbsp;suicide are insignificant.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>If you&nbsp;yourself suffer from depression and&nbsp;even one thought about the&nbsp;possibility of suicide&nbsp;came&nbsp;to&nbsp;your mind,&nbsp;contact your&nbsp;doctor immediately.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Take seriously the&nbsp;person&#8217;s conversations about&nbsp;intent to commit suicide.&nbsp;Even if the situation does not&nbsp;seem tragic to you, for him, against the&nbsp;background of depressive experiences, the feeling of hopelessness and&nbsp;unbearable melancholy is quite real.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t leave the person&nbsp;alone.&nbsp;According to statistics, people with depression commit suicide most often in the&nbsp;early pre-dawn hours, because it is at&nbsp;this time that&nbsp;they experience awakenings and a&nbsp;feeling of melancholy is&nbsp;especially strong.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>If a person decides to talk about&nbsp;such an intention with&nbsp;you, do not&nbsp;read him moralizing, do not&nbsp;try to &#8220;reason&#8221;, saying that life is beautiful.&nbsp;In a&nbsp;state of depression, he&nbsp;sees everything around him completely differently, and&nbsp;your attempts to dissuade him of&nbsp;this will only confirm the idea&nbsp;that no one&nbsp;understands him.&nbsp;Try to understand the feelings and&nbsp;hear the person, offer to help, listen, ask about&nbsp;how really&nbsp;voplotimo&nbsp;his intention is&nbsp;whether he&nbsp;means to commit suicide (this will help to assess the degree of threat).&nbsp;There is a myth&nbsp;that such conversations can provoke a person to&nbsp;commit such an act.&nbsp;But&nbsp;attempts by others to pretend that nothing is&nbsp;happening is even more dangerous.&nbsp;As the experience of specialists shows, talking about&nbsp;motives and feelings that cause&nbsp;suicidal thoughts&nbsp;in a&nbsp;person reduces the risk of such behavior.&nbsp;And the&nbsp;opinion&nbsp;that if a person told about&nbsp;his intentions to die&nbsp;,&nbsp;he&nbsp;will never&nbsp;do it, is extremely mistaken.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, the most important thing: if&nbsp;you notice the slightest signs that a person intends to commit suicide, immediately try to make it possible to have him examined by a&nbsp;psychiatrist.&nbsp;In&nbsp;case if there is no opportunity to discuss this with&nbsp;him (he&nbsp;is silent, out of&nbsp;answers or rejects&nbsp;the possibility of examination and&nbsp;treatment of depression), and&nbsp;the likelihood of suicide exists,&nbsp;it is a direct indication for involuntary hospitalization.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thoughts, words, hints at the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>possibility of&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>death&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>are equally dangerous signs of suicidal behavior!<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In a&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>state when a person is ready for&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>such behavior, he, most often, is not&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>able to ask for&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>help from a psychotherapist or psychiatrist on his own.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Therefore, be attentive to&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>your loved ones.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>It is very important to come to the&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>rescue&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>on&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>time.<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suicidal
