Many people who die by suicide give warning signs. Take these signs seriously. It could save a life. You can learn more in the Guide to understanding and preventing suicide.
Some life events can be overwhelming. Like having a baby. Or finding out you have diabetes or heart disease. They signal that you may need to make some changes.
You can also feel emotions like worry, depression, confusion or anger. All of these feelings are normal. But they can hinder your ability to take control and make healthy lifestyle changes.
