Answer 1

Yes, I would think so. Unless they have made a thorough therapy treatment recovery combined with great changes in their life style - which would probably be a small percentage of those with that propensity.

Motivation would be the key factor to the actual 'successful' completion of a suicide attempt. Those that actually achieve their death goal were probably motivated by a total loss of faith in life/were completely depressed. Those that attempt but do not reach the goal, especially repeat performers, are predominantly motivated by a less severe depression mixed with an overwhelming yearning for attention/understanding and ultimately help to make them feel better about their circumstances.

You can use this and good luck with your paper!

Answer 2

You have not said what you mean by "suicide survivors." Do you mean suicide ATTEMPT survivors, or the surviving loved ones of a suicide? After My Steve committed suicide, I learned that I was considered a "suicide survivor" by Family Services. The idea being that people who are grieving for a loved one who commits suicide are indeed more vulnerable to committing it than the rest of the population.

But I am also a survivor of several suicide attempts in my wicked youth. And I think I am LESS likely to commit suicide because of those attempts. I realized that I did not want to die, I wanted to be known as someone who was so very much in need of help that she wanted to die. Every time I tried it, I was glad I failed.

In contrast, the one time Steve tried it and failed before he tried again and succeeded made him all the more determined to "do it right next time." The second attempt, he knew would succeed: he put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. It succeeded.

I think I am over the period where I might have decided to follow Steve into the void if it had not been for being afraid I would not succeed, and end a pathetic cripple instead. The Sheriff's deputy wisely took away all of Steve's guns after his suicide, and I got past the time with a little help from my friends, and from a very kind and thoughtful counselor at Family Services.

Depends on the situation. The survivor could have survived because they realized that it is not worth killing themselves. I wonder if the people who commit suicide would have still done it after waiting another week or month. Also the thought is already there. If they survive and nothing seems to be changing in there life they might give it another go.

Answer 4

Well, if you are asking are they more likely to kill themselves than the average everyday person is, then yes, because they've already proven their intention to attempt suicide. Most people never come close.

Even though they survived, chances are that they are still plagued by deep depression, unless they're getting intense treatment, so I would say it's pretty clear that they are at a higher risk of future suicide than someone who has never attempted it before.

Answer 5

Suicide survivors are more likely to make another attempt than the average person simply because they have a disorder that most other people don't. People who are not depressed are much less likely to commit suicide.

And for your paper, the word you are looking for is poll not pole.

Answer 6

A public pole, I guess like a long stick that is not in private, ok. Ya, suicidal survivors are more likely to kill themselves than who- suicidal unsurvivors? Yea, definitely, the latter won't kill themselves again.

Answer 7

I have studied suicide, myself. It is a statistical fact that previous suicide attempts are predictive of future suicide attempts.

Answer 8

it all depends on how they survived if someone stopped them from doing it then maybe they will try that again but if they tried killing themselves goto hurt and survived i think that makes them realize that God wants them in the world and that there needed someway somehow in another persons life

Answer 9

I do believe it is a fact that people who've attempted suicide once are likely to try again, and to suceed. so, yes.

Answer 10

no. i believe that they may try again but that it is attention seeking behavior because we all know how to kill ourselves successfully the first time so if they survived they're either really stupid or just trying to get attention
