Thoughts of Death or Suicide
Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts
When you suffer from depression, thoughts of suicide are often common. If there is no relief over a long period of time, suicide can feel like the only way to end the pain.
“It's not a matter of when you get depressed, you want to go out and kill yourself. It’s a matter of ‘I can’t stand the pain anymore. I want to end the pain.’ And you don’t know how to end the pain.”
—Patrick McCathern, First Sergeant, U.S. Air Force, Retired
