Depression and Suicide

Many of the most overwhelming symptoms of depression are thoughts of worthlessness, hopelessness and suicide. The pain is so great, people can view death as a relief.

In fact, 15% of people with chronic depression die by suicide.

Thoughts of suicide must be taken very seriously and if your loved one is openly expressing a wish to die, do not hesitate to take them immediately to an emergency room or call 911 for help – it’s that urgent!
