There are several signs, each of which individually can speak of a person's suicidal intentions. The most typical of them can be cited.
Excessive alcohol consumption or drug addiction may indicate that a person has problems, the way out of which he does not know. This is how a person tries to forget himself. This fact should be especially alarming if the person has not previously had such predilections.
Chronic sleep disturbance and refusal to eat can also be viewed in the context of signs of suicidal tendencies. A person can often suffer from insomnia or nightmares, and there are frequent waking up in the middle of the night. This speaks of excessive overexcitement, probable problems.
An inner feeling of guilt, excessive criticism of oneself, of one's actions. This 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 is a direct prerequisite for suicidal tendencies. This can lead to the despair that leads to most suicides.
Loss of habitual vigor in behavior. A person often begins to 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 that should be paid attention to, since it is thanks to them that many human lives can be saved.
