Talking about suicide though, as a normal being, I have totally no idea how severe suicide is seems to be within the country Malaysia, around the globe, even in the neighborhood. I have never encounter such situation before, therefore it seems partially hard for me to absorb what is actually happening to the person who commits suicide. I read news, I watched em on tv. Neither triggers such sympathy in me towards them. I bluntly thought that suicide is their own choices to escape; to end their suffers, the over-flowing pain. They chose that way eventually & why should we bother?
However, as you grew older, as time ticks, as you space up to understand the real situation, you will realized how suicide works. It will influence how you see and your cognitive beliefs on the fact that,
- 800,000 people died of suicides every year, 2000 every day, 90 every hour, 40 in every secs
- Globally, in 2020, studies assume that there would be 1 death in every 20 seconds
- Suicide is ranked #2 as a leading cause of death within the age of 15-29
- 1 over 5 children suffer mental illness
- 80-90% died from suicide is caused by depression
- 6-33% of children have thought about suicide with a ratio of M:F // 5:1
We tend to neglect mental health issue. Up to this moment, I promised myself to keep my mind free, reach out to those who might silently or openly attempting suicide and to those who are depressed. It's crucial to end suicide & mental illness stigma. Reach out their hands and help them! Pay extra attention and give our best to understand people around us, deeply and affectionately.
