why when people bring up suicide everyone on here trys to stop them? they never know what the person is going through and they always say its going to get better when they don't know that it is? Is it so they can sleep better at night or is a few yahoo answers points worth lying to a person? Im not talking about it because of health problems I'm talking about it to deal with depression or a major situation that has just happend assiisted suicide is totally different.

People try to stop it because they don't know what else to do about it..
it's not for the points or and not to sleep better. and they aren't lying to them..
There is always a way to deal with your problems no matter what they are with out killing yourself or as you say having someone help you kill yourself.
I am at the present time talking to two seperate individuals that wanted to commit suicide and they are doing better just having someone to talk to.. they may not like what i say all the time but they do listen and they do continue to talk and as of yet haven't went back to wanting to commit suicide.
health reasons. i feel differently about
If you can put a animal to sleep because they are in pain i think the same consideration should be shown to humans not just use them as guinea pigs to test drugs on.. I think gevorkian was doing a good job assisting terminally ill people in passing..
I know i probably spelled his name wrong but some days i have a problem with spelling..
so my beliefs on suicide are conflicted
but just because someone is depress or stressed out there is no reason what so ever to kill yourself because eventually if you work at it and get someone to talk to you will feel better about what you were depressed about..
there is always help out here somewhere. try to use some of the offers you get before doing anything as drastic as killing yourself.
If everyone killed themselves because they were depressed there would be no one left here to carry on..

It's because everyones life has major ups and downs. You lose a husband and it seems like it isn't worth getting up in the morning cause the light is out of your life. Then, slowly, you begin to find comfort in your daughters smile or you think of some joke you shared and you have a smile on you face while your eyes tear at the thought of how much he would have enjoyed that. Just little steps on the way to acceptance. Some of the trite sayings got that way because they are true, and time eases all things is true. Suicide changes that, it give you no time, no opportunity, no second chance at finding joy in life again. Its final. It hurts the people left behind, and that's cruel. Depression is a major problem today, that can be helped by antidepressants and therapy, of course you need courage to do this when you feel this way, but to end your life is selfish and foolish, and I'd rather have courage.

Suicide in psychiatry may have different perspective. With related to depression a person get so overwhelming feelings that he/she is unable to cope with certain situation and stressors and turn all frustration inwards hence tendecy to hurt self. Some try to commit suicide as an ' attention-seeking behavior" . For those with psychosis, some commit suicide mostly related to auditory hallucination with voices telling them to for ex. jump in a tall building.
Our foremost priority in dealing with suicidal person is to ensure that she/he will be safe. Empathy and directness is very important at this time which means we acknowledge what the person is going through but also be firm that he/she should stop her suicidal plan. We can talk it out later but our priority again is her/his safety and the people around.

I cannot answer for others, but from my own attempt as a teenager I can tell you that life is worth living. What really needs to be said is that the person that is thinking of suicide most likely really needs someone to listen to them. Not advise, just a freind willing to listen.
Depression is a very serious disorder and often needs medical attention (sorry satanology but vitamins and exercise ain't enough.)

alot of people aren't so deep as to care what is needed to fix anothers problems...most are generally concerned with oneself. Suicide is of course an easy solution, and we all know that we are only as strong as our greatest weakness. I've been that depressed person and decided that I controled what was going to happen in my life. This included losing friends, family and changing from the inside out. Give yourself a chance to love yourself. Suicide Is NOT the answer. EVER

I for one, when I see a question about suicide do not tell that person to "shake it off" or "snap out of it" because a serious depression problem is a disease and should be treated as such. I do tell them to please see a professional and soon.
Sorry but when I saw China Dolls response I just had to say something. Do you really know anything at all about severe depression??????
If you did you would know that a person who is in deep depression cant differentiate between what is real and what isnt, so save your judgment for someone that knows about this subject because you have no clue!!!!

Maybe some people in this world actually do care about the human race and it saddens them to hear that someone is going to go to that extream. Me personally what i say i mean and if i could help them i would!! Not because i think i am all high and mighty and can fix everyones problems but because i have been there and had help to get out of the dark lonley place i was and it did get better.

when people bring up suicide they are ask for help and where to get it. the thing is the people think they can help when they need to point the person the right way for the help they need. we all try to understand what they are going though but we can't and say things that we think that will help but don't. to understand some one is to listen to them and then give them the help they need or send them to some one that can help. if more people did that there would be less suicides then there is now, but no we all think that we have the answers to help any one when we can't help out selves.

A person who is suicidal and depressed generally needs the help the medical profession, possibly including a psychiatrist, psychologist, and counselor.
One appropriate response on Yahoo answers would be to refer the person to additional resouces that ther person is in need of.
The medical professionals are trained to assess what the person is going through and to provide an appropriate level of assistance.

Yes, a lot of people do it for the points, nice huh? Quite frankly suicide is nobody's business but the person's contemplating it. However; when they put it out here for everyone to see they are bound to get some unrealistic answers.
