Questions:
Teen suicide is preventable
Teen suicide is a growing health concern.
It is the third-leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24,
surpassed only by homicide and accidents, according to the U.S. Center for
Disease Control and Prevention.
According to experts Michelle Moskos,
Jennifer Achilles, and Doug Gray, causes of suicidal distress can be caused by
psychological, environmental and social factors. Mental illness is the leading
risk factor for suicide. Suicide risk-factors vary with age, gender, ethnic
group, family dynamics and stressful life events. According to a 2004 report
distributed by the National Institute of Mental Health, research shows that
risk factors for suicide include depression and other mental disorders, and
substance-abuse disorders (often in combination with other mental disorders).
More than 90 percent of people who die by suicide have these risk factors. The
risk for suicide frequently occurs in combination with external circumstances
that seem to overwhelm at-risk teens who are unable to cope with the challenges
of adolescence because of predisposing vulnerabilities such as mental
disorders. Examples of stressors are disciplinary problems, interpersonal
losses, family violence, sexual orientation confusion, physical and sexual
abuse and being the victim of bullying.
National suicide prevention efforts have
focused on school education programs, crisis center hotlines, screening
programs that seek to identify at-risk adolescents, media guidelines (suicide
prevention strategies that involve educating media professionals about the
prevalence of copy-cat suicides among adolescents, in an effort to minimize the
impact of news stories reporting suicide) and efforts to limit firearm access.
Screening programs have proven to be
helpful because research has shown that suicidal people show signs of
depression or emotional distress. Referrals can be made for treatment, and
effective treatment can be employed when signs are observed in time.
Intervention efforts for at-risk youth can put them in contact with mental health
services that can save their lives.
Suicide is a relatively rare event and it
is difficult to accurately predict which persons with these risk factors will
ultimately commit suicide. However, there are some possible warning signs such
as talking about dying, recent loss, change in personality, change in behavior,
change in sleep patterns, change in eating habit, fear of losing control, low
self steem and no hope for the future.
