RISK FACTORS

Mental Health and Suicide

Mental health conditions, like depression, are commonly associated with suicide. Feeling depressed can be a normal reaction to loss or struggles in life, but when these feelings become overwhelming and last for long periods of time, they can prevent someone from leading a normal, active and healthy life. If you’re struggling with depression or another mental health challenge, seeking professional assistance can help clear the way toward a brighter future.

Signs of depression or other mental health conditions

  • Loss of interest in hobbies
  • Feelings of persistent sadness, hopelessness or guilt
  • Increased fatigue
  • Withdrawing from activities
  • Isolating from friends and family
  • Changes in appetite or weight

Not everyone who is depressed or experiencing a mental health condition will show these symptoms — they can vary in number and severity.

There is good news: Most people who experience depression can lead productive, satisfying lives. Many treatments have proven to be effective — from counseling and psychological therapies to medical treatments such as antidepressant medications.

If you’re going through depression, talking to someone is a great place to start. Call, text or chat 988 anytime to get support from a trained professional.
