Prevent Suicide
Knowing the warning signs of suicide could save a life. They include:
- Buying a gun or other weapon
- Giving away possessions, or making a will or funeral arrangements
- Statements such as "I won't be a problem much longer" or
"Nothing matters."
- Sudden, unexplained cheerfulness or calm after a period of depression
- Threats or talk of suicide
If you notice any of these signs, get help right away. Call a health care
professional, mental health clinic or suicide hotline and ask what action
to take. In an emergency, call 911.
