Today is World Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Day to bring serious awareness about the drastic scenario of increasing suicide numbers and mental health issues globally. A very shocking information is that in 2021 there was death toll of 7 lakhs persons in the year and the figure could be even more due to unregistered suicides . If we look at the number of suicide attempt, it was almost 7 times .Earlier suicide was common among olds but now the rate of suicide is nearly 17 percent of total deaths of adolescents.
In my clinic most of my clients either had suicidal ideations or they had attempted at least once. Thanks to God they realized severity of the issue with them and approached the experts.
I personally feel that underlying mental health issues are the core reason . Adopting the principle of transactional analysis I feel that the person with suicidal ideation is adopting the mental state of " I am not ok and you are not ok "and this mental state presents an absolute hopelessness and helplessness provoking the person to attempt or commit suicide. It is quite necessary for the experts to transform the mental state into "I am ok and you are ok " with the help of CBT .The modern glittering world is so fascinating to most of youths but they truely look hallucinated and when they fall quite short to their ever unreachable goal , ending one's life is found the only rescue in sheer hopelessness and helplessness leading to severe depression.
Artificial intelligence is also provoking such persons to attempt suicide by supporting the suicidal ideations.
I strongly believe that suicide is never a solution of any problem man faces rather it is great loss to the family, society, nation and the whole world. Now psychologists, social workers and other experts have enough knowledge and expertization to prevent suicide and also to rehabilitate patients with mental disorders to the extent that can help such patients to lead their life happily .
So TRAIN YOUR MIND to remain in positive orientation of nurturing ideas of " I am ok and you are ok " in yourself and in others also.
Enjoy days always ahead in true love for making your life a blissful one.
