(210) 541-5300 What is suicidal ideation? Suicidal ideation occurs when an individual cannot cope with their mental health challenges or other events in their life. People who engage in suicidal ideation wrongly consider suicide to be the only option to deal with their pain and get out of difficult situations. Tragically, suicide occurs all too often and deeply impacts the lives of the victim’s friends, family, and community members. With the right behavioral health treatment, people can learn to improve their mental wellbeing and avoid engaging in suicidal ideation. What are the signs and symptoms of suicidal ideation? Sometimes, there are signs and symptoms that may indicate a person is having suicidal thoughts. These signs and symptoms include: Conditions We Treat Trauma Suicidal Ideation Self-Harm Schizophrenia PTSD Bipolar Disorder Anxiety Disorder Substance Abuse Depression Mental Breakdown Having a preoccupation with death and constantly talking about death Taking part in dangerous behavior and taking life-threatening risks Self-isolating and avoiding social interactions Making statements or jokes about committing suicide Suddenly preparing a will or giving away items Exhibiting extreme mood swings Saying goodbye to friends and loved ones It is important to note that in many cases, people who engage in suicidal ideation may not show any noticeable signs and symptoms. Suicide and suicidal ideation can impact people in our lives who on the outside may appear happy and healthy. Accordingly, it is crucial to be mindful of friends’ and family members’ mental health and always ask others how they are coping with difficulties in their lives. In addition to being aware of signs and symptoms of suicidal ideation, people should also be aware of risk factors and potential trigger events for suicidal thoughts. Knowing these details can help people identify at-risk individuals even when they are not showing symptoms. Common risk factors and trigger events for suicidal ideation include: Suffering from a physical illness, particularly a terminal illness, or serious injury Dealing with a history of traumatic events Experiencing the loss of a loved one Dealing with a recent break up of a romantic relationship Facing legal or financial jeopardy Additionally, engaging in increased substance abuse may be a sign of potential suicidal ideation. Sometimes, people engage in heavy substance abuse as a way to mask the pain of other issues in their lives. This substance abuse can lead to further deterioration in their lives, and they may consider suicide as the only option to deal with their pain. In some cases, heavy substance abuse can be a sign of a person giving up on their wellbeing and no longer caring about negative impacts on their physical and mental health.
