"As with suicide, symptoms of suicide appear after an acute depressive episode (and are absent or at least mild in early depression), manifesting as a general state of mental malaise, a sense of hopelessness, suicidal feelings, and nonagenarian depression (a form of suicide for people at least 90 years old)." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The number of drugs used in suicide, including antidepressant agents, anxiolytics, hypnotics, and psychogenic drugs, is small compared with their use in psychiatric practice and in the general population. When taken together, the drugs used are commonly utilized in suicide, with antidepressants being the most common. Antidepressants are the drugs used most frequently for suicide." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"While most of the reported causes of suicide are related to depression, it is not clear why and when people with psychiatric problems die by suicide. People with mental disorders, especially those who have experienced or are aware of suicide, may consider dying by suicide, even though they themselves may be at high risk of suicide. The identification of risk factors, rather than the identification of a specific cause, may be more appropriate for achieving the goal of public understanding of suicide." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Suicide is the cause of most deaths in children and adolescents. It is not unusual to see suicidal behaviour from very young children. The prevalence of suicide in adolescents is much higher than in adults. As the life expectancy in most European Union countries is more than 75 years, adolescents have a long future and thus need the support of their families and peers. There is no specific national guideline in relation to suicide preventive education or intervention programme, which is why the need for a national suicide prevention programme has been highlighted in many reports." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The rate of U.S. suicide is not rising, probably because of the success of treatment for suicide. But, because of treatment's effectiveness, the rate of life-threatening suicide seems to be rising." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Suicidal behavior cannot be cured. Despite current treatment options, there is a large risk of relapse after treatment. Future research efforts should focus on prevention of suicidal behavior among adolescent males who may be at highest risk." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The causal contribution from genetic, lifestyle, and social factors to the development of suicidal behavior in individuals under 50 years old is much less extensive than previously anticipated." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"There is a need to create clinical trials for suicidal events to compare two medications and one treatment for depression for an average suicide rate of 0.7 per 100,000." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"[As of October, 2017, we will update this summary on suicide every third year.] Age range is from 15 years to 85 years. The peak age of suicides tends to move into the 50s as societies age. The lifetime risk of suicide is lower than previously described, since the age at which suicide occurs appears to be about 25 years, as opposed to 30 years. The average age at which someone dies from suicide is 50 years of age. There is a significant skew towards males. Males who think about suicide a majority of the day between mid-November and mid-March tend to commit suicide before the age of 50." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The following are the most promising new discoveries since the American Academy of Family Physicians released their recommendations for treatment of suicidal feelings in 2005. While each is effective, none has become the standard medical treatment for suicidal thoughts. These novel discoveries are: (1) SSRI-based treatments, (2) neurobiological treatments (such as neurotrophic factor therapies, gene therapy, and neuromodulation), (3) non-pharmacologic interventions (such as cognitive behavioral therapy), (4) treatment of depression, pain, and stress, and (5) brain-specific treatments." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"At present there is no evidence which indicates it is safe to stop aspirin being taken after brain death has occurred.\n\nPatient care providers are in constant contact with their hospitalized clients in a variety of settings: hospital wards, psychiatric units, rehabilitation centers, and in outpatient clinics. It is essential that the patient care providers are well prepared to intervene when necessary; therefore, they should be more vigilant in recognizing patient hazards. They should be vigilant about drug administration, medication errors, and psychiatric or medical conditions that may complicate the patient's treatment. The patient care provider should take full responsibility for recognizing patient hazards and taking appropriate steps to mitigate risk." - Anonymous Online Contributor
