MYTHS OF SUICIDE

· People who talk about suicide won’t commit it

· Suicide is inherited

· People who commit suicide are crazy

· Once a person threatens or attempts suicide, they will always be suicidal

· An explicit discussion of suicide may lead the person to commit suicide

· Once the person begins to improve, the risk has ended

· Suicide happens without warning
