Since suicide ideators and attempters often experience hopelessness, maintaining positive relationships among families, peers, and communities will enhance youth's health and well-being. Interventions such as school-based suicide prevention program and family-oriented therapy may help adolescents overcome their suicidal behavior and ideation. Nurses must know the signs and symptoms of depression in adolescents and serve as an advocate for

Interventions. To determine Sara’s level of risk for suicide I will administer the following: Reasons for Living Inventory – Older Adult version (RFL-OA), Suicide Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) and Beck Depression Inventory (Jacobs, Baldessarini, Conwell, Fawcett, Horton, Meltzer, Pfeffer, and Simon, 2003). The RFL – OA is a self-report that will measure a person’s beliefs than could contribute to inhibition of suicidal behavior and there are six factors which include survival and coping beliefs, responsibility to family, child-related concerns, fear of suicide fear of social disapproval, and moral objections to suicide (Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983).

Patient is a 53-year-old female who presented to the ED after a attempt to commit suicide by cutting both her wrist. Patient stated: "I don't care about my life, I can die and it would not matter to me." Patient becomes tearful and expresses when she was cutting her wrist she didn't die. LEO brought patient into the ED from DayMark recovery services under IVC. At the time of assessment, patient endorses feeling suicidal with a plan. Patient reports health, conflict with neighbors, and financial issues as the primary factors contributing to her current distress. Patient reports having a history of suicide attempts by overdose, the last being "years ago". Patient reports no hospitalizations from incidents. Patient reports a history of domestic

The patient expressed she has no current suicidal ideation or homicidal ideation. However, she admitted to suicidal ideation in the past, right after her breakup, approximately two months ago. She expressed that she wanted to hurt herself and had a plan on how to do so, but did not think she could go through with it. Her plan was to overdose by taking her mother’s

Arrays of tools, treatment and practices have been developed for use during a clinical consultation to help determine suicidal thoughts, concerns and behaviors (James, 2013). Within the tools developed determinant conditions and preindication signs are identified (Montague, Cassidy & Liles, 2016). The succeeding section will distinguish and outline risk factors, suicide hints and suicidal assessment that are designed to gauge suicidal thoughts, concerns and behaviors (Montague, Cassidy & Liles, 2016).

Suicide among adolescents, has been an increasing problem over the past several decades. Suicide is now the third leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24, accounting for 20% of all suicidal deaths. Looking through a biopsychosocial lens, there are factors that we can see that contribute to the thoughts and attempts of suicide, these factors include stressful life events, such as academic problems, unintended pregnancy,

Today, the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. The researchers studied a high-risk group of psychiatric patients after their most recent attempt of suicide and compared them to equally ill patients without a history of suicide attempts. Treatment for patients who have just recently attempted suicide usually are put in a short-term inpatient unit for creating a crisis plan and becoming stabilized. Once these patients are released from the unit they are at a higher risk for repeated attempts or successful suicide. This risk lasts much longer than just a year after their first attempt. To assess the patients in the study the researchers gave them several self-reporting tools to fill out. Some of these tools included the RFLI, CDRISC,

My purpose is to educate people through the ages of 15 to 24, about suicidal awareness and the help that is readily available. according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, suicide has now reached the second leading cause of death among 15 to 24 year-olds, (Suicide). As an applied example of developmental psychology, suicide has researched studies that have linked teenage suicide to issues with development or other problems that occur over a person's lifetime. Some developmental issues have been recognized as anything from abuse, bullying, family problems, to mental health disorders.

The issue about suicide, suicidal ideation, and attempted suicide is a serious issue that should be addressed and told to every professional that are providing assistance to clients. Even though this type of training is discussed to individuals working within the human services and mental health profession, it should also be told to individuals that do not have a mental illness. Suicidal ideation and attempted suicide can present itself to any person at any age and ability. From my perspective, this type of issue should not be taken lightly, and not only informed to those working in the human services and mental health field. Suicide, suicidal ideation, and attempted suicide should be explained to middle-school and high school students, agencies,

"At least 90 percent of people who commit suicide have a diagnosable and potentially treatable mental illness like depression, or alcohol or other drug abuse problems, often in combination. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people and has been rising since 2007. The unidentified killer in this story is untreated psychiatric illness." Depression is one of the biggest issues in the United States and the suicide rates have increased throughout the years without the use of antidepressants. Antidepressants are the best way to cure the illness, such as depression, in children. It’ll lower the suicide rates in this generation, help with social interaction, and help with their emotional development.

crisis management regarding a suicide attempt should focus on short term relief. the management begins with an assessment by taking in the following information: demographics (age/gender/ethnicity/marital status/occupation), presenting symptoms/medical psychiatric diagnosis (depression/bipolar disorder/substance use/anxiety disorder), suicidal ideas/acts (plan/means), interpersonal support system (family/close friends), analysis of the suicidal crisis (life stressors→ dysfunctional response→life stage during stressor), psychiatric/medical/family Hx (previous Dx/chronic or terminal

Working with a client who reports suicidal ideations can come in different forms, but can potentially lead to a crisis if left unaddressed. Monaghan and Harris (2015) discussed suicide intervention from the beginning of a therapeutic relationship by building a working and trusting relationship, collaborating with the client, conducting regular risk assessments, involving social support, and establishing a specific intervention style. There are three specific intervention styles were reported by Monaghan and Harris (2015): solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Solution-focused therapy helps the client focus on the solution rather than the problem, strengths rather than weaknesses, and the positives instead of the negatives. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps the clients alter their way of thinking about their situation with the goal of altering the client’s feelings and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy challenges dysfunctional behaviors to help the clients change patterns of behaviors that are not
