How you can help:

Remove unnecessary medicines from the home.

Trust your suspicions; take any threat related to suicide seriously. Let them say
what they want to.

Be honest. If you are worried about a teen, say so. Ask some direct question, aware
of their thoughts about suicide.

Try to determine whether the person has a suicide plan. The more detailed the plan,
especially with available and lethal means, the greater the risk..

Encourage the person to seek help and talk to counselor or trained mental health
professional.

Always be in contact with that person.

Be a listener, not a "fixer."

Help the person explore and express feelings.

Communicate your concern for their well-being.

Show your support verbally and non-verbally.

Report based over a period of two years, showed over 300 suicidal deaths in
Pakistan from 35 different cities.[1] The findings showed that men outnumber
women by 2:1 and that the majority of men who commit suicide tend to be
unmarried; the trend for women, however, is the opposite. Research also indicated
that the majority of subjects were under the age of 30 and that "domestic problems"
are the main reason stated for suicide.[1] These include unemployment, health
issues, poverty, homelessness, family disputes, depression and a range of social
pressures. Hanging, use of insecticides and firearms are the most common methods
for carrying out suicide in Pakistan.[3]
