Depression is one of the diseases that can cause someone to commit self-extermination. However, it is not the only one. Mental health psychologist Thaís Alves explains that other mental disorders and painful processes, as well as chemical dependence, can also trigger suicidal tendencies. She explains that suicide is one of the top five causes of death in the world. And spiked: you have to talk more and more about the subject in a responsible way. "Talking about death is also about the possibilities of life," he says.
"Suicide is something that accompanies and traverses human existence from its earliest days.Several sciences offer to think about existence and there is a lot of material on the subject. Today, it is very difficult to talk about this problem and to deal with it, "he said. "Suicide occurs when the individual has difficulty coping with the problems of loss of opportunity, of links.Death is considered a way to alleviate the suffering.This is not an interest for the death itself, but rather a means of achieving a goal, "he explains.
The expert emphasizes that self-extermination is considered a taboo, for various reasons, difficulties in discussing it more completely. "Many people do not want to talk about it, people who commit suicide and who have suicidal tendencies are victims of stigma.
Data from the Ministry of Health, published in 2018 in the month of September Yellow – which militates for the prevention of suicide – it is urgent to remedy this problem, alert us the figures show that from 2007 to 2016, more than 100 000 people died as a result of self-extermination.

"Families experience a kind of double mourning, the first one is about the loss itself and the second is about the fact that the person is responsible for the death itself," he says. According to her, the ideal is that people do not try to blame but to understand the moment at which the people in question are confronted.
"Suicide is linked to extreme suffering, but there are people who are attracting attention, but if someone reaches such a point, in search of attention, it is not a problem. is an indication, a complaint that something is wrong, there is real suffering there, "he said. "If the person loses his job, ends a relationship and starts to have suicidal tendencies, there is something very important for that person out there." Do not talk about it, or put the pain of the person into perspective. other, do not help at all, "he says. She also said that teenagers, youths and LGBT people figured at the top of the list of people who committed self-extermination. "We also need to understand the time, the space and the context in which we find ourselves – people are overwhelmed," he said.

"Society must participate in this discussion, as are families, friends, and loved ones." The suffering of the other has been trivialized, but it is impossible to think of interventions without establishing a relationship with them. the environment in which the person prone to self-extermination lives.This is a whole process. "
The specialist says that living with people who want to commit suicide is complicated and requires care. "Speeches are often heavy and repetitive, if we who are ready to hear them feel the weight, imagine who does not have a trained listening and means to deal with such situations?", He continues.
] "In some cases, the person does not want to ask for help and refuses to see a doctor, which is the top priority, so close people should ask professional help to find out what to do. Is one way to help others and oneself, "he taught. "Suffering that can make someone want to commit suicide can manifest itself in the form of symptoms ranging from loss of meaning, of life to appearance." Repetitive speech and behavioral changes can also occur. indicate that the person needs help, "he says.
Thais still differentiate chronic suffering, which can trigger suicidal tendencies, to the sufferings of daily life." The Suffering of Life everyday is something that accompanies us, which is part of the human experience. We must live it and take the reins to change the situations that provoke it, whenever possible. It is important to ask, "What is my responsibility in my suffering?" And to understand that life is not only a matter of defeats, not just victories.
