why do people commit suicide ?

Answer 1

Three main reasons: either they suffer from depression and therefore have a chemical brain imbalance over which they have no control; the other main ones are financial problems or spousal/significant other relationship problems - so in all these cases people feel there is no hope left and no other way out.

Answer 2

There are many different reasons. A truly suicidal person may ask, "why do people remain alive?" As I once heard from a person who had tried to commit suicide and very nearly succeeded, "Remaining alive is a deliberate choice I have to make every day."

But if I HAD to generalize, I could only say that people commit suicide because they are desperate enough to ignore the risks of failing and finding themselves worse off than before.

Answer 3

Because it seems the least worst option.

Seen from the outside that will usually seem not to be the case, because one can see other resouces, possibilities the despairing individual cannot, but also because the outsider cannot experience the level of driving pain, of despair.

I've been close enough to see it as a rational possibility,
"When a day of aching struggle wins another just the same."
was a line of a poem I wrote then, and I can think of a few circumstances where it would be the only sensible thing to do.

Yes, there is almost always in theory a better answer, if it can be found, if it is offered.
But it isn't always.
And after twenty-five years of pills, psychologists and psychiatrists, I may have found my other route, my way out.*
But I could easily have given up after ten years of fighting, or fifteen, or twenty...


(*oh, and it involves no medication, psychiatrists or psychologists!)

Answer 4

People commit suicide because they cannot stand the pain any longer, the mental pain. They cannot think positive anymore, or see a way out of their problem that makes them feel miserable.
At such a moment they might commit suicide, as they believe this is the solution to stop the suffering.

I want to add that anyone considering suicide should get help, because there is a way out of every problem, there is a solution other than suicide even if you dont believe there is one.

Answer 5

Because they are unhappy and do not know how to handle their problems. I used to work a suicide prevention hot line and I can't tell you how many people I've told to "hang around just a little while longer. Things will change!" They always do. But convincing somebody to hang around for those changes was always the hard part. They couldn't believe that things could change for the better, only the worse. Another line I always used was "We are here for such a short period of time. Death lasts a long, long time. Hang around awhile and continue to enjoy your life. Think about all the people who will miss you--family, friends, etc." Whatever I could do to keep them talking.

Answer 6

People commit suicide because they believe that they have failed every option available to them.

Find another option.
Speak with a psychologist

Answer 7

It's sad to think this happens daily, a friend of mine yr.s ago did and also his brother? Don't know why but it's sad, I think they give up, and it's also part medical. I personally believe life is to short as it is, to cut it even shorter. Life can be very hard, and make us feel miserable, but it's not worth it. Some how, some way that I never understand it seems to bring it's self around and things are better.

Answer 8

Because they feel it is a last answer. Once you are tired of the way you feel you look for a way out. There is probably a million reasons why a person kills themselves. Serotonin to low .

Answer 9

Those people who commits suicide are those with poor FAITH......their soul's lost and felt mesirable.....

Answer 10

When you're hopless, have no friends, family isn't supporting you and you have a terrible job.

Depression makes you feel hopeless even if you're not that's why many people with depressions end up killing themselves.
