Among people who have suicidal tendencies, not everyone needs the help of a psychiatrist, aimed specifically at preventing suicide. The fact is that often suicide attempts are demonstrative and are a means of manipulating people.
A person who constantly threatens his loved ones to commit suicide is actually going to actually carry out his threat: this is evidenced at least by the fact that he openly declares his intention. Nevertheless, "demonstrative suicide" can go quite far and even lead to death, but purely accidental. For example, jumping on a windowsill and threatening to throw himself down into the street, a person can slip through carelessness and really fall. With such people, of course, the work of a psychiatrist is also necessary, but not at all the work that true suicides need.
If we also exclude various kinds of mentally ill, then a really crisis situation in mentally healthy people occurs most often with the so-called social disintegration, or maladjustment.
Conflict with people who are significant for a person who belong to his social environment (in the family, at work, in the circle of like-minded people), damage to personal dignity, loss of a loved one, an incurable disease - all these factors can lead to situations that seem hopeless, since they break the microsocial bonds that a person needs to feel meaningful in their life. As a result, a feeling of despair appears, turning into deep depression, in which mental abilities decrease, and the person no longer sees any other solution to the situation, except for his death.
