Explain the common therapeutic phenomenon that accounts for the increased risk of suicide as depression begins to resolve. Sometimes, when people make the serious decision to commit suicide, they actually start to feel better. They believe the pain is going to stop, that there will be an end, so the depression resolves. That is why some people get so surprised when someone dies by suicide when they were doing so well. A common symptom of deep depression is a semi-vegetative state in which it is difficult to complete even normal activities of daily living (self-cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, etc.). People sometimes cannot even get out of bed. Once the depression begins to lift, however, the energy to accomplish tasks sometimes returns before the hopelessness that characterizes a depressed mood starts to improve. Therefore, a person may carry out a suicide attempt they had considered for a long time but lacked the energy to act upon. If the suicidal acts can be prevented, it is highly likely that the suicidal thinking will dissipate as the depression continues to improve. Author is a licensed mental health practitioner. Depression is a feeling of hopelessness. To live people need to have a sense of hope.If a person has severe depression they see no hope in getting better. They see no hope in living. Often when people pretend to be better, give away personal items that are meaningful etc it does not mean they feel better at all...it means they have implemented a suicide plan and are seriously planning on going through with the plan. People should not be suprised that a person who seems very happy dies from suicide, it is the number one red flag that they are seriously going to kiill themselves. Know the warnings. Serious depression does not suddenly get better. People do not suddenly recover. It is an imbalance in brain chemistry and needs to be professionaly treated. By knowing accurate facts, you can be in tune to prevent someone you know or love from dying. |
