If you know or suspect someone has begun to think of suicide, it's important to recognize their thoughts for what they are: expressions of a treatable mental health crisis. Most suicides are preventable. Don't let shame or embarrassment stand in the way of taking life-saving action now. Remember, suicide is a permanent solution to a problem that is temporary.
