Roughly 800,000 people commit suicide every year along with many more suicide attempts

Suicide is the highest leading cause of death for people 15 to 29 years old

second highest among ages 15 to 34 and third highest among ages 10 to 14

There are many factors that increase the Likelihood of suicide

Here are the three most common factors

number 1. Major Depression

Major depression affects people both physically and psychologically

It can cause painful body aches and impairs the victims ability to see cognitive solutions

This distortion of cognition causes people who commit suicide to believe the world would be a better place without them

number 2. Loss of control

Impulsive tendencies leads to a lack of control resulting in maladaptive behaviors such as substance abuse

impulsivity breeds fear and anxiety which causes people to believe suicide is the only action they can take to put an end to

maladaptive thoughts or behaviors

Number 3. overwhelming regrets

most cultures believe that making a mistake is a sign of failure

Also, some people internalize their mistakes to the point of believing they're beyond forgiveness

This may cause them to believe the only reprimand that would bring justice to the act they committed is suicide

Many argue that suicide is a senseless act

But one's cognition has the ability to make sense of the most senseless things, especially if they have major depression or impulsivity

Prior to the Act of suicide there is a process of negative thoughts that manifest in physical and mental pain

The Act of suicide is seen as cathartic for people who suffer from guilt

Understanding that suicide makes sense to the suicidal person is an important step to getting them the help they need

One Major sign of Suicide is withdrawal

Withdrawal can be linked to one feeling shame for thinking about suicide or believing their feelings aren't being heard or acknowledged

reacting to the signs of suicide without stigma or shame could be the key to establishing a dialog with a

suicidal person and getting them the proper treatment
