Suicidality is a pervasive sense of hopelessness that creates thoughts and behaviors with the aim of ending one’s own life.

This condition makes it incredibly difficult to engage in social support, feel connected to a sense of purpose, and regulate emotions. It can also lead to injuries and medical conditions as a result of attempts. People sometimes want to end their lives to end the pain or possibly to get attention or revenge from others. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidality, please call 1-800-273-8255 or 911 to seek immediate support.
