Suicide
Suicide is the act of intentionally ending your life. If you're reading this because you have, or have had, thoughts about taking your own life, it's important you ask someone for help.
Despite being a leading cause of death, both in England and worldwide, there is little hard evidence to explain why some people attempt suicide.
Sometimes, there may be obvious signs that someone is at risk of attempting suicide, although this is not always the case.
If you've had suicidal thoughts recently, or if you're feeling suicidal now, contact someone for help.
One of the best things you can do if you think someone may be feeling suicidal is to encourage them to talk about their feelings and to listen to what they say.
It's impossible to guarantee you will never get a mental health condition, but you can take steps to improve your mental health.
