September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. Even with friends and family around, someone experiencing emotional pain or suicidal thoughts can feel isolated. You may sense something is wrong, but not realize how serious it is. Trust your instincts and reach out, especially if the behavior is new, has increased or is related to a painful event, loss or change. The warning signs for suicide include sudden mood changes, withdrawal, changes in sleep, feelings of hopelessness, talking about wanting to die, putting affairs in order, feeling trapped, reckless behavior, and increased drug and alcohol use.
