Suicide

Suicide is ending your own life on purpose. When a person tries to end their life but doesn't die, it's called a suicide attempt. Any suicide attempt or talk of suicide should be taken seriously.

A person who has made a plan to harm themself or someone else needs immediate help. National or local suicide hotlines, local hospitals, or a trusted health professional can usually help.
