Definition of Suicide

SUICIDE

Suicide, the act of taking one's own life, is a tragic reaction to stressful life situations — and all the more tragic because suicide can be prevented. Whether a person is considering suicide or knows someone who feels suicidal, learning suicide warning signs and how to reach out for immediate help and professional treatment is imperative. You may save a life — your own or someone else's.

It may seem like there's no way to solve one's problems and that suicide is the only way to end the pain, but steps can be taken to stay safe — and start enjoying life again. Source: www.mayoclinic.org
