My son has depressive disorder and wants to commit suicide, what should I do?

See a psychologist for a consultation.

Hello friends. This is a counselor.

Old Friends Codex, glad friends your questions.

From an objective point of view, depression.

The negative energy emanating from friends is indeed not something that everyone can bear. Of course, friends with depression do not have the intention to pass on their negative energy to others, but for them, they are indeed in a state of "overflowing when the water is full", and they have no intention of passing on the negative energy to others, but they are powerless to stop themselves from doing so.

And the reason why it will tell you "he is going to commit suicide" is that on the one hand, it is a kind of emotional catharsis, on the one hand, it hopes to gain your understanding, and on the other hand, it hopes to get some connection with the world from you, so as to dilute the negative energy it has.

When you fail to identify the true meaning of his words (sometimes he doesn't know it himself), it is indeed easy to bear a huge psychological burden, so at this time, friends you can mainly consider the following directions:

1. If you are willing to do something for him, then you can increase your understanding of depression, so that when you get along, you will know what he wants to express;

2. You can moderately ask him to eat and play together, climb mountains together, and help him return to real life step by step;

3. You can pass on some positive energy to him when communicating, such as understanding, empathy and attention to him, which will make him feel very comfortable.

However, it should also be noted that if you choose to do this, it is possible that he will gradually like to communicate with you, so whether to do this, please be sure to refer to "whether you have the ability to resist negative influences", if not, please do these efforts occasionally, and then you can suggest that a friend talk to a psychologist.

As for your friends, if you feel that you are under a lot of pressure right now, you can also talk to the psychologist directly; If the pressure is not high right now, then general adjustments such as exercise, journaling, confiding, relaxing, and keeping distance can be used.

So, please protect yourself first, and then go to spread positive energy to the outside.

You should take your friend to see a psychiatrist, and you should also talk about these things about your friend to your friend's parents, so that they can pay attention to it, take your friend out for a walk, relieve your friend's pressure, and listen to some of your friend's demands can help relieve your friend's pressure.

Because try to comfort your boyfriend without showing strange expressions, and at the same time make him feel at ease.

You should divert your attention and go for a walk, or do something you like, go on a trip, but if it doesn't work, you just go to see a psychiatrist.

Hello, when our children have suicidal thoughts, we as parents should give our children love at the first moment, and this love must be in action, people can feel it directly, not love in the bottom of the heart, such as giving the child a hug, let him feel the love of the world, feel the love given by his parents, and let him know that he lives in a warm family. Then, it is necessary for parents to communicate more with their children, to enter the child's inner world, to untie the shackles in the child's heart, and to make him open-minded and happy. Third, I think that the reason why children have suicidal thoughts must be related to the family environment, and must be related to the way the father and mother get along, so parents have a great responsibility for this matter, so should parents learn to look at the problem from the perspective of their children?

To understand the child, be more tolerant of the child, and give the child more affirmation, I think if you can do these three things, the child will become positive, sunny and optimistic! The key is not! ~

It's always obvious that a child's thoughts of depression or suicide may not be bad, which is why it's important to seek out your child's depression. Trained mental health professionals can learn subtle cues of suicidal thoughts by talking to children, conducting psychological tests, and assessing personal risk factors, such as previous suicide attempts and the severity of depression in children.

Also, if your child has suicidal thoughts, a response to depression can help reduce their suicidal thoughts. If your doctor recommends taking medications, such as antidepressants.

The most effective approach to depression in children usually includes close monitoring and multidisciplinary by doctors and mental health professionals.

Communication skills with children

If you decide to talk to your child about depression, you may be worried about saying the wrong thing. But the truth is that having an honest discussion with your child can provide them with much-needed support. With a few tips, concerned parents and caregivers can confidently talk to their children about depression.

Maintain an appropriate age for conversation

Make sure your child understands what you're saying and doesn't get confused or bored with the discussion. Use words that your child can understand. Words like "depression" or "emotional reaction" may be too complicated for younger children, but may be appropriate for older children or teenagers.

Try to compare your child's depression to a condition your child is already familiar with, such as the flu or ear infections.

Keep the conversation positive

Depression is a serious illness that causes emotional and physical pain, but try to focus the conversation on the positive side. By maintaining a positive and hopeful perspective in the discussion, you will avoid scaring your child unnecessarily.

Be honest

Don't make promises you can't keep. Don't go into detail about topics you're not sure about. Tell your child what you know. Make a list of questions and discuss them with a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Be compassionate

Your child needs to know that you acknowledge and respect their feelings. Even if you don't quite understand their thoughts, don't ignore their feelings. Avoid comments such as "What do you have to be depressed about?"

Be a good listener

Let your child express their views and ideas openly. Avoid interrupting, judging, or punishing their feelings. Listening shows that they have someone they can trust to help them sort out their emotions.

Ask questions

If you're worried, ask your child directly if they've ever thought about suicide. Contrary to what has been believed in the past, talking about suicide will not give your child any thoughts on the contrary, it can help them recognize the problem and know when and how to seek help.

Parental support (including emotional support, such as listening to their child's worries and comforting them when they are disappointed or frustrated) is associated with a lower incidence of suicidal thoughts in middle school students.

If there are any security issues, no judgment is provided; Simply rescue your child from immediate danger, don't leave them alone, and ask them for help immediately.

Never ignore your child's suicidal thoughts and never promise to keep it a secret. Any suicidal thoughts or behaviors should be immediately contacted by a psychiatrist or a hypothetist psychiatrist.
