Suicide: Fostering awareness and hope

Identifying warning signs and getting help

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide was responsible for 48,183 deaths in 2021, which is about one death every 11 minutes. In 2021, suicide was among the top nine leading causes of death for people ages 10-64. Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 20-34.1 It’s important to understand how to identify someone at risk so you can connect them with the care and support they need.

Know the warning signs of suicide

There’s a useful phrase that can help you remember the warning signs of suicidal behavior: “IS PATH WARM?” Each letter corresponds to a symptom that people considering suicide often exhibit:

  • I — Ideation. Talking about hurting or killing oneself
  • S — Substance abuse. Excessive alcohol or drug use
  • P — Purposelessness. Seeing no reason to live
  • A — Anxiety. Agitated, anxious, unable to sleep, or sleeping all day
  • T — Trapped. Feeling like there’s no way out and resisting help
  • H — Hopelessness. Acting as if there’s no hope of change, and the future is bleak
  • W — Withdrawal. Withdrawing from friends, family, and society
  • A — Anger. Being consumed with uncontrolled anger or thoughts of revenge
  • R — Recklessness. Engaging in risky activities or acting without thinking
  • M — Mood changes. Dramatic mood swings

How to help someone who may be suicidal

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides free and confidential support for people in distress. Simply dial "988" for help 24/7. Callers can remain anonymous if they choose.

When to get help with PTSD

Enduring or witnessing a traumatic event can have a very harmful effect on a person’s mental health. Many people have a short-term reaction to a terrible incident, but some experience long-term symptoms that don’t ease over time. These people may be diagnosed with
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychiatric disorder that can affect a person’s mental and physical health.
