The Second Leading Cause Of Suicide

Depression affects every one of us, at some point in our lives. For some it’s a one off thing, helping them grow and acquire ways to become stronger with time. For others it becomes more serious as they sometimes flirt with the idea of suicide.

Suicide was the second leading cause of death for 15-34 year olds in the United States in 2013 (Center for Disease Control, 2015). Additionally, the rates of suicide have increased 24% from 1999-2014 (Curtin, Warner & Hedegaard, 2016). Sadly, perfectionism has been found to be a significant predictor of suicidal ideation and completed suicide (Hewitt, Caelian, Chen & Flett, 2014; Flett, Hewitt & Heisle, 2014), as well as parasuicidal behaviors (Ayerst, Flett & Hewitt, 2012). Research by Kiamanesh, Dieserud, Dyregrov and Haavind (2015) have shown that maladaptive perfectionism was associated with unanticipated suicide in six adult men. Although perfectionism is a significant predictor of suicidality, the incorporation of interventions aimed at perfectionism are not abundant within programs aimed at preventing suicide (Flett, Hewitt & Heisel, 2014). Thus, it is important to understand how perfectionism relates to suicide, as well as learn how to target perfectionism when there are no clear indicators of suicidal ideation.

Suicide behavior arise in adolescence, a period when significant mood and disturb behavior preoccupied with death (Stoep, 2009). Teen suicide rates are disturbing and have been increasing in the current years base on statistic (Croft, 2016). The increasing number of teen suicide have cause awareness and brought attention to observance in teen suicide (Croft, 2016). It is said to be the third leading cause of death seen from 10 to 19 year old. Female are more likely to initiate suicide than male. Male often use harsh method to attempt suicide such as guns, while female often consume excessive amount of sleeping pill to cause overdose or slit

Every 40 seconds someone in the world DIES by suicide, every 41 seconds someone is left to make SENSE of it. Suicide is when someone intentionally end his or her own life for varying reasons which they find them reasonable and worthy enough to give up their lives. Suicide is event that is hard to cope with especially then the one who dies is young the devastation is even more profound. Suicide recently settled in the 3rd place of the top leading cause of death among 15 to 24 year olds, barely surpassed by homicide and accidents (http://www.kidshealth.org). Many life events that happens on daily basis could lead to thoughts as confusion, self-doubt, bullying, depression, financial issues or pressure to succeed. When It comes to pressure to succeed in some countries like Egypt parents are adamant about the idea that their children must achieve educational ranks and get enrolled in what they see high prestigious majors as medicine and engineering. Suicide would be prevented more psychologically than physically as the tools used for ending one’s life or self-harming usually is accessible to all the people, it could be a firearm, pills or jumping of heights they are all easy to reach methods or tools. However, parents rarely give attention or realise the prevalence of suicide.

42,773 people commit suicide every year in the United States. “Suicide is...the sincerest form of criticism life gets” Wilfrid Sheed. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. For every successful suicide, there are ten men and women who attempt suicide. And for every one of those, there are ten who think of killing themselves, but do not.(Some Reasons). People commit suicide for multiple reasons.

In addition, mental health disorders can lead to suicide. Suicide is a horribly tragic act that can be prevented. Suicide is usually caused by severe depression, a feeling of hopelessness. This severe depression can be caused by a tragic life event such as losing a job or divorce. People can also be predisposed to depression. People’s brains who suffer from depression simply cannot produce enough neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which are responsible for making you happy. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. More people die from suicide than hypertension, abnormally high blood pressure, and Parkinson’s disease. The rate in which this is happening is rising yearly. In recent years suicide rates have taken a steep rise in prevalence. Many people struggling with depression feel as though they don’t have real issues compared to other people, or that people will judge them seeking help for feeling sad. People who have been directly affected by suicide will tell you that it is not silly to seek help if you are feeling sad. Suffers sometimes feel so depressed that they cannot get out of bed. It can be debilitating. Uneducated individuals do not understand this, and will tell a sick person to “just get out of bed”, or “we all have issues too, deal with it and get on with life like the rest of us”.

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death mostly in the age of 16-24. Suicide is becoming major issue in United States. Rate of Suicide in teenagers is rising day by day. I believe the people who commit a suicide are selfish people because they don’t think about their friends and family. When I was in my senior year a friend of mine, Jassey committed the suicide. A day before that we both were working on our government project, everything was great. Next day of school, I was in my math class, doing my warmup questions, and was not listening to our daily announcement. Suddenly I heard that Jassey had committed a suicide, it was shocking. He committed a suicide because he broke up with his girlfriend. His death was so depressing and shocking.

Suicide is something that can not be overlooked. It not only affects adults but teens as well. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US.

Suicide is is the act of intentionally causing one's own death. Risk factors include mental illness such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, alcoholism, or drug abuse. People choose suicide when they are hopeless or when they think there isn’t anyone that cares for them anymore. They can also choose this if they think there isn’t an end to their suffering or to their problem. Most of the time this happens because of depression and in some cases bullying, it can also happen because of alcohol or because of a major stressful event that has happened. Suicide can really happen anywhere and at any time.Suicide is a problem that exists because the numbers of suicide keep going up and won’t come down.

The highest rate is for men over the age of sixty nine, but is increasing everyday in young people of the ages fifteen to twenty four. One million people commit suicide worldwide annually, and ten million to twenty million people attempt suicide annually. There are roughly about thirty thousand people that kill themselves every year just in the United States. The actual number could be higher because some deaths are recorded as an accident, single car accident, or something that isn’t even recognized as a suicide. In men it is the eighth leading cause of death and in women it is the sixteenth leading cause of death. The higher frequency of completed suicides in males versus females is consistent across the life span. Teenage at the ages of fifteen to nineteen years old will commit suicide five as often as females their age. Men at the ages of twenty to twenty four years of age will commit suicide ten times more often as women. The rate for gay and lesbian individuals is much higher at them attempting suicide.
