SUICIDE PREVENTION

Suicide is a major problem in psychiatry, a drama within the family and act of desperation and unable to see other outlets decided by the person.

Our "free will" is the ability to be free to decide, but how do we know if it is a decision that we would take the same way if we should give some time to reconsider? In most patients who are placed in treatment and have managed to save their lives after a failed attempt to recognize that they did not want to die, but it was the only way out they saw at the time. many depressions treated adequately prevent that risk.

The causes are psychopathological and biological-, personality traits, psychosocial and family. In the literature we have great stories to raise suicide as a vital outlet not devoid of romance, but in some cases biographical, we analyze in this corresponding to major depression or Bipolar , currently and properly treated may give other options and other possibilities of decision.

In the case of adolescent suicide attempts can be impulsive or reprimands which sometimes have been "exposed" in a more or less obvious to the family, but have not given adequate importance. In our practice we find that the patient speaks of self-harm in most cases, parents do not hear it. Psychotherapy family intervention and administration of guidelines can help prevention. 

If we consider that 9 out of 10 cases of suicide have a history of suffering from psychological distress , gives us much to think about why you want to leave to exist. Currently social despair has increased and has led to a greater number of attempts and some fatality, thereforesociety's role on the meaning of life occupies a role that we must not forget .
