In June, designer Kate Spade\u2019s and chef Anthony Bourdain\u2019s suicides reminded us that suicide does not discriminate. It can impact anyone, and it is often unexpected. Numerous factors<\/a> can put a person at risk, including family history of suicide, substance abuse, access to firearms, a history of trauma, chronic illness, prolonged stress and isolation. And not everyone who is suicidal has a known mental health condition. In fact, 54 percent of people<\/a> who died by suicide did not have a mental health diagnosis.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical for everyone to be able to recognize the signs that someone may be considering suicide. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are 10 signs of suicide<\/strong> that could help you determine if someone is suicidal.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Threatening to hurt or kill himself or herself.<\/li>\n
  2. Looking for ways to kill himself or herself.<\/li>\n
  3. Talking or writing about death, dying or suicide.<\/li>\n
  4. Rage, anger, seeking revenge.<\/li>\n
  5. Feeling trapped, like there\u2019s no way out.<\/li>\n
  6. Increasing alcohol or drug use.<\/li>\n
  7. Withdrawing from friends, family or society.<\/li>\n
  8. Anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep or sleeping all the time.<\/li>\n
  9. Dramatic changes in mood.<\/li>\n
  10. No reason for living, no sense of purpose in life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    People may show one or many of these signs and some may show signs not listed.<\/p>\n

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),\u00a0suicide rates are increasing<\/a>. It\u2019s clear that this is a mental health crisis we need to address.<\/p>\n

    What can you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n
