Myths about Suicide
Myth: There are always warning signs.
Only50-75%of people display clear warning signs of suicidal thoughts or decisions before they
take their life.
Myth: Someone who is suicidal will always be suicidal.
About 54% of those who die by suicide don’t have any diagnosable mental health disorder.
Myth: Someone who dies by suicide had severe mental illness.
Suicidal thoughts are often short-term and specific to a particular situation, such
as a divorce, breakup, legal trouble, financial issues, a death in the family, a severe
illness, trauma or abuse, or the loss of a home and not indicative of a severe mental
illness.
Myth: People who are suicidal really do want to die.
Those who have suicidal thoughts usually don’t actually want to die; rather, they don’t want to continue living their life as it is. This is why talking
about it can be so helpful.
Myth: When someone gets better, their risk of suicide goes down.
For many, it’s the days or weeksafter treatmentthat can be the most dangerous. It’s very important to ensure a person has a strong
support system even when they seem “fine.”
