I feel suicidal: What can help women

I feel suicidal: Recent studies show that there has been an incredible rise in the numbers of women who are suffering from clinical depression, many of these women report recurring ruminating thoughts of suicide. According to the Center of Disease Control the past decade has seen a very large jump in the numbers of women who report “feeling” suicidal. There are many theories advanced to explain the rise in the suicide numbers, the economy is cited as a major cause of the increase but this may not be an accurate measure of why the numbers are rising.

Women and Depression

"Suicide is a tragedy that is far too common," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC  "This report highlights the need to expand our knowledge of risk factors so we can build on prevention programs that prevent suicide. The fact that women had the largest increases in suicide was one of the more starling statistics from the CDC, as men have traditionally had higher numbers of suicides than women.

"The suicide rate for women rose more than 31 percent over the last 10 years, these are very depressing numbers but the situation may be worst, Julie Phillips, an associate professor of sociology at Rutgers University stated

The statistics are "vastly under-reported." "We know we're not counting all suicides," she said.



Research says the cause of the rise cannot be attributed to the economy



According to Center of Disease Control the States with the lowest unemployment and highest income per capita had the highest numbers of suicide, for example, in the state of North Dakota which has an extremely low unemployment rate their was an unbelievable increase in the numbers of people taking their own life (70%). The The Journal of Men's Health & Gender found that unemployment and income was a factor in male suicide but not female. Unemployment or finances was cited as “extremely” when one speaks of the reasons for suicides in women.

Feeling depressed? How this doubles the risk of a stroke

There has been an increase in clinical depression worldwide, if you are feeling depressed from this extremely debilitating illness it is important to know that depression effects the heart greatly. A new study from Australia has revealed that people who are medicated for depression double the risk of having a stroke, this is a very dangerous situation seeing that more that 18 million in the United States are on antidepressants.

How does depression increase the risk of stroke?

Doctors were very alarmed when after adjusting for factors like smoking,diet and body weight they concluded that people who were suffering from clinical depression were suffering from stroke at almost twice the rate in comparison to people who were not living with the disease. A stroke is actually bleeding from the brain, a stroke is a condition in which the brain cells suddenly die because of a lack of oxygen. This can be caused by an obstruction in the blood flow, or the rupture of an artery that feeds the brain. The patient may suddenly lose the ability to speak, there may be memory problems, or one side of the body can become paralyzed. Many people who are feeling depressed for long periods of time may be prescribed antidepressants and the pills have been linked to increase risk of  stroke.

The antidepressant stroke link

The Australian study highlighted a very important fact that  antidepressants usage is linked to brain bleeding which may contribute to a stroke. A study in Neurology showed that selective serotonin uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may lead to bleeding in the brain that may cause a stroke. SSRI antidepressants were 50 percent more likely to cause bleeding as opposed to those not taking antidepressants and a 40 percent elevated risk for having a bleeding within the brain compared to those not taking the medications. There are millions of people who are feeling depressed and rely very much on their medications, we do not recommend stopping the drugs without speaking to your doctor. Regardless of  if you continue on medications or not it is important to go beyond drugs to take control of depression, do not end your healing with a pill, we have shown people in over 10 countries that they can go beyond medications to treat depression on their own in private. This has worked in thousands in 10 countries

Feeling suicidal: What should I do

The numbers of people who admit to feeling suicidal are increasing at an alarming rate, suicide is on the rise and officials admit that the crisis does not seem to have an end in sight. In the United States The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently found the suicide rate for people aged 35 to 64 jumped by an amazing 30% in a decade, a troubling development by any measure. This means more Americans now die of suicide than of car accidents. Those who admit to feeling suicidal must realize that it is extremely important to get help.

The cause not just financial

The first cause stated for rising suicide number is the economy, as increasing numbers of people lose employment and experience poverty some contemplate ending their lives. What is alarming researchers is the fact that those who have seen the largest increases in suicide numbers have been middle class/middle age people who did not have financial difficulties. For example, in the state of North Dakota which has an extremely low unemployment rate their was an unbelievable increase in the numbers of people taking their own life (70%). This is a tremendous jump in the amount of people who took their lives in that State.

5 of the top States which saw suicide increases had a healthy economy. The issue is not only about money, we have to come to the realization that large numbers of people are simply not happy, they are depressed and stressed.

Depression

We can state clearly on this site as we have done for the past 4 years that depression and the overwhelming stresses of life are the main causes of suicide. When you reach the point of giving up and there does not seem to be a way out the best option may seem to end it all but it is not the right solution, the suicidal person is tired and wants the pain(stresses) to finally stop.

The term “Feeling suicidal” is actual a dark and deep depression that does not seem to move. Taking one's life is seen as a the best solution when the rivers of stresses take over your thoughts.

Important: If this is a suicide emergency please call 911, someone will help you.
