Typically I try to rotate between formal subjects and outdoorsy/physical skills, this time I have decided to take a different course. For the next few days I will go over several facts related to Depression and Suicide.
-Definitions-
Before I go any further into this subject, I want to define the two terms.
Depression: n; Severe despondency and dejection, accompanied by feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy; A condition of mental disturbance, typically with lack of energy and difficulty in maintaining concentration or interest in life
Suicide Ideation: A medical term for thoughts about or an unusual preoccupation with suicide
Suicide: n; The action of killing oneself intentionally; v; intentionally kill oneself
The reason why I have joined these two topics is due to the fact that a high number of suicide cases/attempts have a direct connection to depression. Over the next few days I will share insights into the causes, possible symptoms, treatment, who is affected, resources, and more.
No one is alone, be the light you want to see in the world.
