Suicidal Thoughts
Dr. Howard Chusid
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, LMHC, NCC, MAC
Why do people want to commit suicide? What about this life and this world is making them say "they want to leave"? Each of us has our own secrets that we think know one will understand. Those dark places which many of us go too, appears to be the answer to our problems. But, is it? If we could show someone that their are alternative answers that will allow them to live and have a good life, that is what we need to do. Thoughts are just the beginning of the road whose ending finishes everything. We need to give people an alternative, that is rational and achievable. Something that they will be able to hang on too, that will make the difference.

Suicidal Thoughts
Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideations in young children and adolescents may manifest themselves indirectly through interest and/or preoccupation with suicide and death, or more directly when kids speak about "wanting to make it all go away" or thinking "the world would be a better place without me."
Other signs are social withdrawal, depression, aggressive and hostile behavior, declined interest in hobbies and activities previously enjoyed, feeling of worthlessness, self-hatred, expression of guilt or hopelessness about the future, neglecting personal appearance and grooming, reckless or risk-taking behavior, running away, changes in sleep, appetite, and energy level.
Seeking treatment for your child is essential. A trained mental health professional may pick up on subtle cues, address underneath thoughts and feelings, and assess individual risk factors and severity of the individual's condition.
