Suicidal Thoughts

If you or someone you know is currently contemplating suicide or self-harm, or undergoing any other crisis, please call the 24/7/365 Colorado Crisis Services Hotline immediately at 1-844-493-8255

Treatment for Suicidal Thoughts

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death among adults and the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-24. Some common warning signs of suicidal behavior include: threats or comments about killing oneself, withdrawal from social circles, putting affairs in order or giving away possessions, saying goodbye to friends and family, purchasing or searching for a firearm or prescription medicine to complete suicide with. The majority of people experiencing Suicidal Thoughts have an existing mental illness.

Anyone having suicidal thoughts or exhibiting suicidal behaviors should immediately be provided with psychiatric assistance. Mind Springs Health offers several effective treatment methods and resources for preventing suicide and coping with any mental illness associated with the Suicidal Thoughts including: Hospitalization for Suicidal Thoughts, Counseling & Therapy for Mental Illness and Ongoing Resources to Manage Mental Illness.
