It critiques the current model that views suicide as a symptom of mental illness, arguing treatments targeting suicidal behavior directly have been more effective. The document emphasizes identifying reasons for living and positive factors that promote resilience to help prevent suicide.
Suicide: Risk Assessment and PreventionImran Waheed
1. The document discusses suicide risk assessment and prevention. It provides an overview of statistical data on suicide rates in the UK, outlines high risk groups, and reviews the Department of Health's suicide prevention strategy.
2. Risk factors for suicide include mood disorders, substance abuse, previous suicide attempts, and easy access to lethal means. A thorough risk assessment involves exploring suicidal thoughts and plans through open and closed questioning.
3. Ongoing support and follow-up are important for managing risk, as risk is dynamic and requires regular reassessment. Early identification and treatment of depression can help prevent suicide.
This document defines various terms related to suicide and discusses suicide from epidemiological, etiological, and clinical perspectives. It notes that over 90% of suicides are associated with psychiatric disorders like depression and substance abuse. Key risk factors include male gender, older age, social isolation, impulsivity, and a family history of suicide. A comprehensive suicide assessment evaluates psychiatric illnesses, risk and protective factors, and determines the level of risk to guide treatment and safety planning.

SUICIDE & ITS REAL FACTS by BR. SARATH THOMAS CHAMAKALAYIL, sarathcthomas@gm...Sarath Thomas
Suicide is defined as intentionally ending one's own life. Historically, many religions and societies disapproved of suicide and denied people who died by suicide normal burial rites. Today, around 800,000 people die by suicide each year globally, making it a leading cause of death worldwide. Religions such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam generally prohibit suicide. Suicide rates vary significantly between countries and regions, with India having a high rate and Kerala in particular seeing many female suicide attempts. Risk factors include depression, mental illness, substance abuse, and physical illness. Warning signs someone may be contemplating suicide include changes in behavior, mood, and social withdrawal.
This document discusses suicide risk assessment. It defines suicide and related terms like parasuicide, suicide threat, suicide attempt, and suicidal ideation. It covers risk factors like mental health conditions, stressful life events, and access to lethal means. Theories of suicide are explained, like Durkheim's theories of egoistic, altruistic, anomic and fatalistic suicide. Suicide assessment involves evaluating a patient's suicidal ideation, intent, and plan in a systematic way. Management includes addressing risk factors and monitoring the patient.
This document provides an overview of suicide and its management. It discusses the history of attitudes towards suicide, definitions and types of suicidal behaviors. Key points include that suicide is a major public health problem globally, with risk factors including mental illness, previous attempts, and access to lethal means.

Professional Risk Assessment: Suicide and Self Harm RiskDr Gemma Russell
Presentation delivered to Lifeworks Australia as part of their professional development in 2013.
Specifically discusses how to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment and the implications for different levels of risk. Also highlights, ethical and legal responsibilities of the practitioner.
This document defines key terms related to suicide and parasuicide. It then provides epidemiological data on suicide rates globally and in India. The highest rates in India are reported in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. Puducherry has the highest national rate. The document also discusses risk factors, methods, stressors, and the relationship between suicide and mental illness. Major risk factors include mood disorders, schizophrenia, substance use disorders, and personality disorders.
1) Suicide risk is highest among older white males, Native Americans, and those with a history of mental illness or substance abuse.
2) Suicidal ideation and behavior exist on a continuum and are often due to an acute crisis that is temporary in nature or treatable psychiatric conditions.
3) A thorough evaluation including risk assessment tools is needed to determine appropriate treatment and precautions, such as hospitalization or outpatient follow up, for suicidal patients.
Suicide is defined as the act of intentionally ending one's own life. Emile Durkheim provided an elaborate definition stating it is a positive or negative act done by the victim that is known to result in death. Suicide can be caused by biopsychosocial factors like mood disorders or relationship issues, environmental losses, or socio-cultural isolation. Common suicide methods include firearms, poisoning, and hanging. Treatment involves counseling, medical intervention, and family support. Social workers play an important role in prevention through education, counseling, and advocacy.
This document discusses suicide and attempted suicide. It defines different types of suicidal behaviors and notes that the intent can vary, from altruistic suicide to impulsive acts in response to stress or cries for help. Freud is cited as viewing suicide as a conflict between life-preserving and self-destructive forces. Statistics on suicide rates in Jaffna between 1980-1989 are provided, showing the highest rates among males. Risk factors for suicide are identified, including depression, alcoholism, physical illness, unemployment, and recent attempts. Guidelines are given for assessing and managing suicidal patients, including treating underlying conditions, providing crisis intervention, and deciding whether hospitalization is required.

Keynote presentation by Stephen Hinshaw, PhD, at the UCSF Depression Center's "Adolescent Depression: What We All Should Know" event on November 16, 2015.
Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) refers to health issues caused by inadequate iodine intake, ranging from abortions and stillbirths to mental and physical retardation. Over two billion people worldwide are at risk of IDD, with iodine deficiency being the leading preventable cause of intellectual disabilities. Universal salt iodization, health education, and monitoring programs are recommended to prevent and control IDD.
Depression is a mental condition characterized by feelings of severe despondency and dejection. It can cause a lack of energy and difficulty maintaining interest in activities. Common symptoms include feelings of hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness, difficulty concentrating and sleeping, changes in appetite, and thoughts of death or suicide. Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting about 20% of the population at some point in their lives. It is linked to changes in brain chemistry and activity, especially in the frontal and temporal lobes of the left side of the brain.
Meet Generation Z: Forget Everything You Learned About Millennialssparks & honey
Marketers have been focused on Gen Y (a.k.a. Millennials) for more than a decade. In fact, Millennials are the most researched generation in history!
But Gen Z (born 1995 to present) is different from the Millennial generation. In many ways, Gen Zers are the opposites or extreme versions of Millennials and marketers need to adjust to them.
We are just beginning to understand Gen Z and its impact on the future, but this report explores what we know and foresee.
The document summarizes a presentation on using a meaning-centered approach to prevent suicide in adolescents. Key findings from a research project include that suicidal thoughts are common among youth but recurrent thoughts indicate a higher risk. Risk factors include previous attempts and mental health issues. While mental disorders are linked to suicide, treatments targeting disorders alone are less effective than those addressing suicidal behaviors directly. A meaning-centered approach focuses on positive reasons for living rather than just risk factors. The development project created methods to help professionals anticipate suicide risks early, encourage finding meaning, and promote purpose among at-risk youth.

Research Proposal
Jamie Bass
Argosy University
March 3, 2016
ABSTRACT
Suicide is experienced in all parts of parts of the world. Even though it has been argued that suicide is common amongst the elderly in the society, it is worth noting that even children as young as 13 years old have committed suicide. The myths and misconceptions surrounding suicidal individuals are inherently different from one culture to another. For instance, in some cultures it is believed that suicidal individuals are possessed by demons. Other cultures attribute suicide to generational curses whereas other cultures attribute suicide to such factors as depression and other mental disorders. The purpose of the proposed research is to establish the risk factors of suicide and realize possible strategies which if undertaken can help to counteract suicide and hence its adverse effects in the society. In this proposal are the points to be addressed in the course of the research. It is anticipated that there will be objections to the factors to be established and hence part of this proposal are possible objections and how each of the possible objections will be addressed. The research will use secondary sources of information and hence part of this proposal is an annotated bibliography of the sources that will be utilized in course of the research. Comment by Spencer Ellsworth: This is good, but could you state it more as a piece of argumentation? Like “This paper argues that early intervention can prevent suicide if done correctly.”
WORKING THESIS
Suicide has negatively affected the society, and unless there are mitigation strategies to curb this menace, it will continue to take the lives of many people in the society.
EXPLANATION
Suicide is the act of human beings voluntarily taking their lives. Research has shown that it has always been caused by a sense of despair or hopelessness. All these issues may be induced by mental illness which may include Bipolar disorder or even depression. Suicide has been traumatizing and shameful to the bereaved families and many people in the society have always viewed it as a cowardice way of taking one’s life. Many suicidal persons have been haunted by their thoughts in many cases this is depicted as a very personal process (Goldsmith, Pellmar, Kleinman & Bunney, 2002).
In this paper, it is very much possible to look at what suicide is and the risk factors associated with suicide. A study conducted in Sweden consisting of 271 men aged 15 years and above revealed that mental disorder is a major suicide risk factor. It is thus recommended that the research paper will dwell on mental disorder and substance abuse as risk factors that contribute to suicide as well as medical conditions and psychosocial states. Harris & Barraclough (2009) also established a causal relationship between mental disorder and suicide a factor that further makes the proposed research ...
The proposed study aims to examine the relationship between suicidal influences and preemptive measures through a mass survey targeting individuals experiencing or who have experienced suicidal situations. The survey would ask about causes of suicidal ideation and the effects of external factors like media. The researchers hypothesize that preventing suicidal influences through preemptive measures could decrease national suicide rates across demographics.
A Danish study examined suicide risk factors like mental illness, unemployment, income, family history, and their interaction with gender. The strongest risk was history of psychiatric hospitalization. Being single, unemployed, retired, or sick posed higher risks for men while urban living was riskier for women.
One article discusses adjusting media recommendations on reporting suicide to consider new media while

ARTICLE ANALYSIS 2
clear penalties for abuse of guns as this would help in reducing increasing cases of gun abuse a
reality that has been ignored for long.
Do you agree or disagree with author? Why?
Yes I agree with the author because there have been many cases where licensed gun holders have
used guns wrongly leading to loss of life and no action has taken against them as they have been
able to argue that they felt that their safety was being threatened. It is hence important for gun
owners to be controlled so that they can stop risking lives of people who do not own guns.
What would you do differently if you were to present this argument? (Describe specific
elements)
The one thing I would do differently is demonstrating how events where guns are regulated human
life is much safer from the aspects of people who do not own guns and how the life of people in
general is at risk whenever there are weak and ineffective gun control measures.
Describe reasons why someone might disagree with the author’s stance?
Someone might disagree with the author’s argument since there are many other causes of death and
that gun only contributes a fraction of total number of deaths. Somebody opposing .
This document discusses how social psychology can be seen in everyday life through an experience the author had during a "spend a day" visit at a high school they were applying to. The author describes being given a tour of the school and attending classes with a current student to get a sense of what it would be like to attend that school. They note that the majority of students at the private school were white. The summary discusses an everyday experience that demonstrates principles of social psychology.
Early Psychological Research On Cognitive And The Nature...Carmen Martin
Early psychological research emphasized observable behaviors but later incorporated studying internal processes like cognitions. Assessing internal experiences typically involves self-report questionnaires, which have limitations. To address some limitations, researchers have adopted ecological momentary assessment using smart devices, which can query participants about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the moment over time, reducing memory reliance. However, self-report still involves biases, and EMA introduces awareness biases. Nisbett and Wilson referred to removing time as key to decreasing accuracy in self-reporting.

Introduction to psychology
Psychology deals with the scientific study of the mind and the behavior of a person. The word psychology is derived from two Greek words, “psyche” and “logos” which mean life and explanation respectively. Therefore, psychology generally is the meaning of life where we endeavor to understand life. In everyday life we apply psychology either knowingly or unknowingly with popular television shows such as Dr. Phil utilizing psychologists to help people understand what they are going through. There are many types of psychologists, each dealing with a certain specific aspect of life (Mangal, 2019). Examples of this include school counselors, marriage and family therapists, religious therapists among many others.
Engagement statements/ questions:
· What is your opinion on what psychology is?
· What do you expect to learn in this course?
Point 1. Why is using intuition about everyday behavior insufficient for a complete understanding on the causes of behavior?
Psychologists rely on existing research which is based on scientific methods to understand the causes of a behavior. Therefore, utilizing intuition to carry out an activity which is achieved using scientific methods is not possible. However, human being is often compelled to utilizing their intuition to understand their behavior and in essence, they get to learn the principles of human behavior (Ross, 1977).
Examples of this instances include:
· Tendency to be depressed after failing at something important
· Giving bad news often leads to being blamed even in instances where one is not responsible for the bad news.
Scientific data is based mostly on these observations. However, it is not advisable to utilize intuition because it is not particularly thorough. Often one explanation of a behavior is taken as long as it seems right, however, there exists other explanations which are not taken into consideration. An example of this is where eyewitnesses are overconfident in the identification of a crime perpetrator. However, research has shown that they are often overconfident in incidences where they are wrong.
When using intuition, there are cognitive and motivational biases which may influence the way we interpret a behavior. This often led to drawing of erroneous conclusions. Therefore, it is important to accept the explanations of events after they have been scientifically tested to ensure that the conclusion made is not erroneous but the facts.
More often, after being presented by the results of a scientific research, one believes that they would have made a similar inference. Therefore, many people tend to disregard the importance of research since they believe that research arrives at similar conclusions as theirs. However, this feeling is caused by hindsight bias where after learning the results, we often connect it with examples in real life which support the findings. These examples may not come in.
Abuse and mistreatment in the adolescent period - by Dr. Bozzi Domenico (Mast...dott. Domenico Bozzi
UNICEF has highlighted how children suffer violence throughout all stages of childhood and adolescence, in different contexts, and often at the hands of people they trust and interact with on a daily basis.
Violent corporal punishment, 300 million children between 2 and 4 years old in the world regularly suffer violence from their family/guardians (about 3 out of 4), 250 million of these are punished physically (about 6 out of 10).
Sexual violence, Sexual violence occurs against children of all ages: 15 million girls aged 15 to 19 have experienced incidents of sexual violence in their lives, and 2.5 million young women in 28 European countries report having suffered episodes of sexual violence before the age of 15.

WORKING THESIS
Suicide has negatively affected the society, and unless there are mitigation strategies to curb this menace, it will continue to take the lives of many people in the society.Comment by Spencer Ellsworth: This is a good subject, but the thesis needs a little work. “Mitigation” is really generalized. Maybe more like “early intervention and general support are needed to help
EXPLANATION
Suicide is the act of human beings voluntarily taking their lives. Research has shown that it has always been caused by a sense of despair or hopelessness. All these issues may be induced by mental illness which may include Bipolar disorder or even depression. Suicide has been traumatizing and shameful to the bereaved families and many people in the society have always viewed it as a cowardice cowardly way of taking one’s life. Many suicidal persons have been haunted by their thoughts. I in many cases this is depicted as a very personal process (Goldsmith, Pellmar, Kleinman & Bunney, 2002).Comment by Spencer Ellsworh: Citations for this. Also, maybe consider that it is often an outgrowth of chronic disease or chronic pain.
In this paper, it is very much possible to look at what suicide is and the risk factors associated with suicide. It is also recommended in the research paper to dwell on mental disorder and substance abuse as risk factors that contribute to suicide as well as medical conditions and psychosocial states. The media and how it depicts suicide is also very important to research on as well as the rational suicide is a controversial statement in this topic. We will have the chance to look at the suicide methods and pathophysiology which is very important to note. After all these, prevention will be a key topic to note which involves screening for mental illness. It will also be possible to research on epidemiology, social and culture based on legislation and religious views and all about philosophy, advocacy, locations and some notable cases of suicide.Comment by Spencer Ellsworh: Fairly awkward sentence.Comment by Spencer Ellsworh: To make a good argumentation paper, you’ll have to focus on where intervention is failing right now, and how intervention can work more effectively. It’ll make for a great paper, but it’ll involve some legwork with current practices and funding of mental health intervention by federal and state governments.
SUB POINTS
Many people in the society are very much scared of taking away their lives and they are actually left to wonder how one can voluntarily manage to be suicidal. Some may be caused by illnesses with some visible symptoms and various ways to mitigate this act is by careful observation of these people. People in high risk of committing suicide often have mood disorders and .
Researchers conducted a content analysis of video footage from a community theatre program aimed at suicide prevention in Eastern Montana. The analysis found that over 40% of content depicted personal experiences with stigma related to mental illness, treatment, and help-seeking. The plays suggested stigma contributes to social isolation and is a barrier to treatment. Researchers conclude stigma reproduction maintains disparities in access to care and interventions are needed to reduce its impact in the region.

Self-harm and suicide are major public health problems among adolescents. Around 10% of adolescents report having self-harmed, with rates being higher in females. Important contributors include genetic, psychiatric, psychological, familial, social, and cultural factors. Prevention requires both universal measures for all youth and targeted initiatives for high-risk groups. There remains little evidence about effective treatments, and identifying successful prevention initiatives and treatments is a key need.
Foster care youth resource sheet may 2012LuiFer Tirado
Foster youth are at an increased risk of suicidal behaviors compared to other youth. Risk factors for foster youth include trauma, abuse, neglect, mental illness, substance abuse and family dysfunction. Warning signs of imminent suicide risk include threats or talk of self-harm, seeking access to lethal means, depression, anxiety and feelings of hopelessness. If a youth expresses suicidal thoughts or exhibits warning signs, caregivers should take them seriously, ask directly about suicidal plans, stay with the youth, remove lethal means and contact a mental health professional for help.

Logotheory as Phenomenological PhilosophyTimo Purjo
This document discusses philosophical perspectives on the human person and spirituality. It describes philosophical anthropology as examining the constitution and existence of humans holistically and normatively. Phenomenology is discussed as a method to analyze experiences and awareness. Max Scheler's view of spirit, psyche, and body as modes of human existence is presented, as is Nicolai Hartmann's division of reality into inanimate, organic, psychic, and intellectual-spiritual levels. The spiritual is described as capable of self-reflection, directionality, and sharing meanings intersubjectively. Situationality is introduced as how one relates to their world. The differences between psychic and spiritual awareness are outlined, with the spiritual described as objectifying experiences through concepts and
Viktor Frankl's Philosophical Theory on Man's Search for MeaningTimo Purjo
This document discusses Viktor Frankl's philosophical theory on man's search for meaning, known as logotherapy. Some key points:
- Frankl's theory focuses on finding meaning and purpose in life rather than pleasure or self-gratification. He saw humans as spiritual beings seeking meaning.
- Logotherapy involves helping people discover meanings and purposes that can lead to happiness through techniques like existential analysis and counseling.
- Frankl saw an "existential vacuum" as a spiritual problem caused by a lack of meaning, rather than psychological issues. His approach was to help people reconstruct their worldviews.
- Frankl advocated a Socratic approach of "education" focused on values, responsibility, and

The Confusion between Frankl’s Values and Universal ValuesTimo Purjo
The document discusses Timo Purjo's research into Viktor Frankl's concept of values and how it developed over time from 1925 to 1995. Purjo argues that although Frankl referred to universal potential meanings as "values" in logotherapy, he was actually basing these potential meanings on Max Scheler's theory of objective, absolute values. The document outlines Scheler's view of different levels of values and analyzes key parts of Frankl's work to show how his understanding of values drew from Scheler and shifted from referring to subjective values to objective values over time. Purjo concludes that Frankl created his own "value theory" where values represent universal ethical principles that guide one in finding meaning through creative, experiential
A Violently Acting Young Person's Will to Meaning and LoveTimo Purjo
This document summarizes a presentation on educating violently acting young people towards meaning, love, and ethical behavior. It discusses recognizing adolescents as persons requiring respect, love, and esteem from educators. It explores how meaning, love, and happiness are interrelated, and how contributing to the common good orients youth towards their own well-being. The presentation aims to help young people find meaning and love in their lives to cultivate their lost humanity through ethical education emphasizing personhood.
