Suicidal person

A suicidal person is one who is experiencing a personal suicide crisis; that is the person is attempting suicide, is seeking a means to die by suicide, or is contemplating suicide.

Recognizing a suicidal person

A suicidal person may exhibit certain behaviors. A person who has a preoccupation with death, talks excessively about suicide, or becomes socially withdrawn may be contemplating suicide. Other behaviors in suicidal people include reckless behaviors (such as increased drug and alcohol use, or taking unnecessary risks like dangerous driving), unexpected or unusual farewells to family and friends, and seeking out means to kill themselves (such as acquiring pills, guns, or other lethal objects).[1]

Causes

See Discussion on causes of suicide for more information.

In many cases, suicide is an attempt to escape a situation that causes unbearable suffering. A majority of those that die by suicide suffer from depression, alcoholism, or mental health problems such as bipolar disorder.[1] Some that die by suicide have organic disorders such as brain trauma and epilepsy.[2]

Views on suicidal people

===法律===在历史的大部分时间里,试图自杀的人被视为违反了反对谋杀的法律。到11世纪,法院“将自杀视为‘对自己的谋杀’”,并“因此被视为......一种犯罪行为。”[3]这些对自杀的法律影响一直存在到现代。英国有禁止自杀的法律,直到1961年,在1946年至1956年期间,“超过5000人]被认定[试图自杀]有罪,并被判处监禁或监禁。”[4]美国直到1964年就有禁止自杀的法律,[4]伊斯兰圣法也禁止自杀。<ref name=suicidebombers>Wolin,Richard。自杀炸弹手在道德上可以辩护吗?</参考> mental
