Research has shown that we have more suicide case is the last 2 years, whats happening? sAD

Recently, we got a sad news of a student who committed suicide and more fresh is the case of a medical doctor who ought to be the one encouraging his patients, he gave up by diving into the dreaded third mainland bridge ocean.


Though, it is a statement of fact that people commit suicide for various reasons, such as relationship issues, broken spirit, poverty, mental instability, depression and even spiritual illness.
Others include death of a beloved one; divorce or breakup of a relationship; losing custody of children; rejection by family members; physical and sexual abuse including rape; incarceration; drug and alcohol abuse; bullying and humiliation; molestation and stigmatization; a serious loss such as loss of job, house or money; terminal illness; hopelessness that sprout from feelings that things will never get better; a feeling of failure in life; financial problems; loneliness or social isolation; unemployment; war; mental illness; and family history.

But the main point is that it is usually due to crisis, untamed crises have over the years being identified as a major cause of suicide. And when people are struggling with something which they feel is too big to handle by themselves and the people around them, they result in suicide.

Since suicide is a taboo in our own clime, it is against this backdrop that the government, the society, parents and individuals have distinctive and collective roles to play in curbing the increasing tide of suicide in the country. Parents and family members are advised to avoid putting undue pressures on their dependants or children on any issue as they have the foremost role play in identifying various warning signs and taking adequate and quick measures in addressing any suicidal symptoms. Family members must also strive to put away every instrument of suicide such as pills, knives, razors or firearms among others.

But more crucially is the role of religious leaders. They must continue to preach the significance of patience and perseverance in life, with teachings and examples of prophets and other virtuous men of God in the Holy books, not only in churches and mosques, but at every forum.

Above all, government must wake up to its responsibilities in the area of job creation, education as well as encouraging the revival and strengthening of social welfare offices and rehabilitation centres across the nooks and crannies of the country.

End.
