Suicide Resources

If you or someone you know is struggling with self‑harm, please seek help immediately. Support is available, and you don’t have to go through this alone.

Suicide is the act of intentionally ending one’s own life.

Key points:

It is often linked to mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or severe stress.
People may consider suicide when they feel overwhelmed by emotional pain, hopelessness, or a sense of being a burden.
Suicide is a preventable tragedy, and help is available through mental health professionals, crisis lines, and support networks.

Some may experience psychological symptoms such as:

Persistent feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
Intense sadness, depression, or anxiety
Feeling like a burden to others
Extreme mood swings or sudden calmness after depression
Irritability, agitation, or anger

Some may experience physical symptoms such as:

Changes in sleep or appetite
Fatigue or lack of energy
Neglect of personal hygiene or appearance
Seeking access to means of self-harm (medications, weapons, etc.)
Withdrawing from friends, family, or social activities
Engaging in risky or self-destructive behaviour

When should you seek help with suicide?

You should seek help immediately if you or someone else shows any signs of suicidal thoughts, plans or behaviours. Suicide risk is always a serious situation, and early support can save lives.
