That\u2019s about one death every 11 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTRGV Counseling Center Director Christopher Albert said suicide is a human behavior that is hard to study because it\u2019s often hidden. However, he said a common sign of suicidal ideation is a noticeable change in a person\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201c[A person becomes] more isolated,\u201d Albert said. \u201cThey\u2019re talking less, they\u2019re talking negatively, especially if they say things like, \u2018Oh, I might as well just give up,\u2019 and given some indication that they feel like they don\u2019t want to live anymore.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But a person\u2019s mood could change oppositely in some cases. Albert said that someone who has struggled with something they feel overwhelmed with for so long may elevate their mood temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIn their minds, they think, \u2018Oh, well, I can just kill myself, and that will be the way to get out of this,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so they feel a sense of relief.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron Worthington, an officer of Active Minds, an organization that focuses on the importance of mental health, said to not leave someone alone who may be in danger of suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThey think that \u2018I have no friends,\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m just alone,\u2019 you know, \u2018I have nobody to support me,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cSo it\u2019s really a good thing when students be there for each other and to support each other and to tell one another, \u2018You are not alone we&#8217;re here for you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert said asking the question, \u201cHave you been thinking about suicide?\u201d and approaching the situation with genuine concern can help bridge someone struggling to get the professional help they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cWhen we ask the question, we are sending the message that it\u2019s OK to talk about it,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we know that once a person starts talking about what\u2019s behind their suicidal thoughts and urges, that immediately starts lowering that risk for suicide.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 50% of suicide cases are linked to clinical depression, Albert said. Mental health is not the only factor that puts people at risk for suicide. He said issues like psychosis and neurological conditions can affect a person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said people communicate suicidal thoughts differently. Some may say it in an \u201calmost comical, offhand type of way\u201d because they may feel uncomfortable reaching out directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cFor example, they could be concerned about the response they get that people won\u2019t take them seriously and so forth,\u201d Albert said. \u201cSo anytime that someone brings up the words like, \u2018I think I want to kill myself\u2019 or anything like that, it\u2019s important to take that seriously, and, you know, to ask, and do it in an area where they\u2019re more likely to open up, for example, in a private area.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting involved when someone mentions thoughts of suicide or depression is what Worthington believes to be an appropriate time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThat is when we should try to intervene as much as possible because we are not there in the household,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don&#8217;t know what happens outside what we know, or what they told us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s important to ask about suicide, the manner of tone matters. Albert said it is essential not to ask in a shameful way such as, \u201cYou\u2019re not having suicidal thoughts, are you?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cWe want to do anything possible to lower that shame because shame makes us hide,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd again, if we hide, we don\u2019t talk about it, we deny it, and then we don\u2019t get that opportunity to lower that risk and get the help that we need.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a stigma around seeking help for emotional crises. Albert explained this could be from an individual\u2019s experience of how they grew up or their personality. He said some say reaching out for help signifies weakness, but getting assistance can often signify strength because it takes a lot of courage to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worthington encouraged those who are afraid to reach out for help to find peer support groups and activities for guidance. He believes that anyone can be prone to suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThere\u2019s no simple classification of people,\u201d he said. \u201cNo matter what race, no matter what gender, no matter what ethnicity, anybody can be vulnerable to suicide.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-harm behaviors, such as cutting parts of someone&#8217;s body, may not do it with suicidal intent, but rather to cope with the experiences they have while they\u2019re living, according to Albert. He said some people describe cutting as \u201ca release of tension they feel inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oftentimes, there\u2019s not a clear divide between what is suicidal and what is not. Albert described when to intervene when self-injury becomes dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cSo a person may say or think, \u2018I&#8217;m not doing this to kill myself,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cBut then that same person may later feel really bad about something. And because they&#8217;ve been relying on self-injury and now they feel worse, all of a sudden they become kind of suicidal, right? Or at least they&#8217;re not caring whether they live or die. When they self-injure at that time, it could be more serious.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert said trying to help someone who is suicidal is one of the toughest yet most important things to do in life because it involves life or death. He said if someone is planning on committing suicide and resisting assistance from close friends or family, then bring in external help such as police or a counselor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students experiencing suicidal ideation can visit the Counseling Center in University Center Room 109 on the Edinburg campus or Student Union Room 2.10 on the Brownsville campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timely Care is an app available to students that gives them access to 24\/7 mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vaquero Crisis Line phone number is 665-5555. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Victoria Gonzalez for Vaquero Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Suicide Prevention Month is observed every September to emphasize efforts of treatment and resources for individuals affected<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":7244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,16,692],"tags":[680,571,26],"class_list":["post-7243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brownsville","category-edinburg","category-health","tag-fall-2024","tag-mental-health","tag-utrgv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
