 Module 24. Suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation is something in which the person is trying to give a self-harm intentional or deliberately try to take his or her own life but that person is not acting upon it but only thought about that thing. When we talk about passive-suicidal ideation, it means that a person is just thinking that he or she is trying to give a self-harm intentional or deliberately try to take his or her own life but that person is not acting upon it but only thought about that thing. There is passive-suicidal ideation and an active-suicidal ideation. When we talk about passive-suicidal ideation, it means that a person is just thinking that he or she does not want to live anymore and it is better that he or she can die. But the active-suicidal ideation is that the person is trying to think about how many ways are there in which he or she can take his or her own life. So the thing is that he or she thinks about the means through which he or she can take his or her own life. So these are two types of manifestation of suicidal ideation. Now there are many conditions associated with this that why people go towards suicidal ideation or why they want to take their own life. Number one which has respect is hopelessness. What is hopelessness? It means that a person thinks that he or she can never have a better situation in life. So when the person thought that there is no hope in the life, in that situation that person can act upon or can think about to taking his or her life. You must have seen and heard in this video that when the result of the matrix comes, they attempt suicide or suicidal ideation. Usually children report that when the result of my matrix did not come out well, then I thought that it would be better for me to end my life. Because I thought that something else can never be good in life. So this is the state of hopelessness where they feel that things are not improving. They feel that there is no relationship with my parents. So when the factor of hopelessness comes out, then a person can think about suicidal ideation. Then the depression. Depression is a state where there is a feature of suicidal ideation. That means those people who have depression, who have sadness, the element of fatigue, there is a factor of hopelessness. Those people usually go towards suicidal ideation. They thought about to take their own life. Similarly, people who have anxiety, they can also think about to take their own life, deliberately think about to take their own life. But the interesting point here is that researchers, correlational researchers predict that there is a correlation between suicidal ideation and anxiety. But this research has not yet been defined in this field, which can further explain this direct relationship. But one thing that I am thinking about is that anxiety causes certain time depression. And because that person can have depression on a secondary level or exist, then suicidal ideation can come into it. Then the stress. Stress reactions are usually taken towards suicidal ideation. For example, there can be different kinds of stressors in life. There can be economic stress. If a parent has lost a child, then there can be stress. If there has been academic failure, then there can be stress. So the sudden stressors in life sometimes provoke a person towards suicidal ideation. Similarly, impulsivity. In impulsivity, a thought comes into a person's mind and tries to think about it and try to do it. So when the person is impulsive in different situations, like academic failure or impulsively the person is thinking about to take his or her own life, that can be the example of how impulsivity works towards the suicidal ideation. Now the people who have suicidal ideation in their mind, whether it is on a passive level or an active level, they have some warning signs, that is, they talk about something special. Or they say something special, from which we can understand or understand that suicidal ideation is going on inside them. For example, they will say that they want to kill themselves, they feel themselves burdened on others. And mostly, most of them are saying that they did not find any reason to live. Similarly, the behavior of them, you will see that they withdraw from the activities. They will sometimes do a very reckless act. And similarly, their reckless act can mean that if someone drinks alcohol, then their take will increase. Similarly, they will go to hypersomias, they will go to insomias. Or another behavior that is very alarming is that they are starting to say goodbye to other people. They will call other people and communicate with them in such a way that they will feel that they are winding up the things in their lives. At a certain time, they become more aggressive towards other people. So, the shift of their behavior that is completely changed, which will be seen in agitation, will exhibit that at a certain time. This person, he is thinking about to take his or her own life. And if we will talk about mood, then usually their mood will go towards depression. And along with this, they can also go towards anxiety and their mood can also be hostile. Thank you.
