There are several signs, each of which alone can speak about the suicidal intentions of a person. You can cite the most characteristic of them.
Excessive consumption of alcohol or drug addiction may indicate that a person has problems, of which he does not know a way out. This is how a person tries to forget himself. This fact should be particularly alarming if the person had not previously observed such addictions.
Chronic sleep disturbance and refusal to eat can also be seen in the context of signs of suicidal tendencies. A person can often suffer from insomnia or nightmares, and there are also frequent waking up in the middle of the night. This indicates excessive overexcitation, probable problems.
Internal guilt, excessive criticality towards oneself, towards one’s actions. Such behavior often finds expression in aggression and insolence towards others.
Constant state of anxiety, fear for the future. Against the background of such endless mental stress, depression often develops, which serves as a direct prerequisite for suicidal tendencies. This can lead to despair, which causes most suicides.
Loss of habitual energy in behavior. A person begins to often complain of fatigue, behave inhibited, quickly lose interest in any activity, up to a feeling of apathy for everything. Life itself is already becoming uninteresting.
The presence of an example of suicidal behavior in the immediate environment is another factor. It is sometimes a very powerful incentive to commit suicide.
These are the main signs of suicidal tendencies to which attention should be paid, since it is thanks to them that many human lives can be saved.
