PREFACE
About This Book
Teens often face a host of stressors and confusing feelings as they grow through the adolescent years. The emotions associated with puberty, self-doubt, confusion about the future, family problems, and school pressures can sometimes seem overwhelming. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was the second leading cause of death among people 10 to 34 years of age in 2017. But suicidal behavior is not a normal response to stress. Mental-health professionals claim that most teen suicide victims have a mental-health disorder, a history of substance abuse, or both. When suicide risks are acknowledged and warning signs are heeded, many teens in distress can learn that the feelings that led them to consider suicide are treatable and that there is hope for the future.
Suicide Prevention Information for Teens, Fourth Edition begins with statistical data on the occurrence of suicide in the United States. It talks about various risk factors of suicide such as bullying, access to lethal means, and barriers to mental healthcare. It also discusses mental-health disorders and life-threatening behaviors linked to suicide risk, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and substance abuse, self-injury, and eating disorders. It offers suggestions for recognizing suicide warning signs, and it explains the most commonly used treatments for suicidal ideation, such as psychotherapy. It provides tips on how to recover from a suicide attempt and how to help someone who is recovering from an attempt. It addresses the bereavement and grief experienced by those who are affected by a suicide loss and explains how to cope up with grief and survive a suicide loss. Practical strategies to prevent suicide are also provided. It also provides a list of apps to take care of mental health and prevent suicide. The book concludes with a directory of resources for further help and information.
