Kinda backwards thinking here. If you take the stigma away you normalize it. So suicide is now a 'normal' and common thing? That's not gonna help the numbers 😅
Sorry when they say that they're only talking about when someone kill's themselves at school or some such occurrence. It is a social contagion.....if just generally talking about suicide....no it doesn't spread it.
This night I talked to a friend of mine about her past relationship partner's attempts. Just now I read another message of a friend of mine mentioning past suicide attempts as well, opened RUclips, and this video is the first thing I see. If someone were to tell me that the Google has been tracking my sublingual body temperature up until now, I wouldn't doubt it.
Isn't it interesting that this video was posted 13 years ago, but most of the comments have been in the past month? It's just kinda interesting to see the algorithm at work.
@@George-Aguilarinteresting. I did have a story come up in my feed about assisted suicide in Canada last week even though I've never searched that topic. Now this. Do they want us to off ourselves or what?
I read that people can often be suicidal and depressed, and the depression is the thing which prevents them from taking action in committing suicide, but then if say they start an antidepressant, it gives them the motivation now, and get up and go, to actually take their own life, as before, the depression was holding them back. Hence why it's a concern, prescribing for this group of patients.
Right. Because they come from that deep, psycho-motor exhaustion, and regain some energy and ability to move to begin with. Well enough to get up and do stuff, but not think outside of that depressed state.
@@nickydaviesnsdpharms3084yeah I went from pharmacodynamics (lsd and specifically 5ht2a and their relation to migraines, depression, schizophrenia, antagonists helping anxiety, hallucinogenic agonist =helping anxiety in controlled environments, all the way to being a major role in schizophrenia and modulation of everything from perception of reality to ability to stay calm in social settings) to particle physics. Chemistry gets very messy, litterally and figuratively. Biology by itself wasn't as captivating as quantum mechanics. This is a cool study though
As somebody who’s always wanted to kill myself but never been in a wrong enough place to done it, maybe just treat people by not gaslighting people who have the ability to change the into a corner of being “of suicidal ideology”?

That's hilarious. Cops came to my house cause I made a suicidal post on a forum and they basically just threatened me saying they could take me in and also had me stand outside in the cold while they went through my room. At like 1 am. Oh I see it's for other cops.

I've heard stories of suicidal people being forced into psych wards. Their phones get taken away and the staff have a 50/50 chance of being abusive. After release, they get hit with the bill.
@@lilium-orchid I volunteered myself to one once. They literally held me there against my will and told me if I left early my insurance wouldn't cover it. Worst choice I've ever made in life. Some of the nurses there had no idea why I was still there and told me to talk to the psychiatrist assigned to me. I talked to tons of people in charge. Wouldn't let me go. Psychiatrist there would give me like 10 seconds of time and just say you're doing good. The girls would come out crying after talking to him because we were all being held there against our will. People who were taken involuntarily had to go to court just to get out. Taken from their jobs and families. It was disgusting. I have no idea how they're allowed to do that. Also they mix normal people with those who have schizophrenia and whatnot. It's so stupid. First day there some guy was threatening people with a pencil. Great place. Oh and I also learned that social workers aren't on your side either. Was also during covid so my mom was only allowed to visit me once for 15 minutes with a nurse listening to us. There needs to be a lawsuit. I also became anemic during my time there because the food was so bad. So their fix for that was putting me on the "healthier" diet with even worse food. One of the nurses was amazed when I showed her how they couldn't even make scrambled eggs. It was like a watery mess.
@@lilium-orchidI wonder if you can get away with just not paying it. “I was effectively kidnapped. I’m not paying you for the privilege” sounds like a pretty good defence
Why is suicidality so confusing to some people? The simple fact of the matter is that life is ASS for a LOT of people, and there is very little avenue for change from that.
That's not a fact, but an opinion. Not to say it's invalid but often for people who are struggling to understand depression I've found it comes from not being able to understand that some people struggle to see how they can change their life.
@@michaelcurry3795 It is very well a fact, most people are ultimately locked into their lives, yes they could go find a new job, move to a new city, but that does not come without its risks, its costs, and the calculation really often comes out to 'it's unknown, unsure, and scary', leaving them little option.
You didn't choose to be born. I see this as an opportunity to say fuck it and see what all happens, possibly with some effort too. That's what keeps me from trying to cut my life short, because , man.... I've definitely felt like it way more often than I'm comfortable with
It's silly, imo. Nothing is worth that kind of stress or self isolation. People just want too much. So many people out there wanting a friend, or love, or adventure, or respect, whatever one's pain. You can just ignore it all and choose to be happy, choose to disregard negative forces. Think about trafficking victims, slaves, people who's loved ones are murdered, families going from war to refugee camp, to foreign country and culture, child abuse, all these people live among us, and are doctors, politicians, bakers, etc. I can't speak for you, but these thoughts make me wonder how I can be sorry about anything. The attacks I've suffered completely suck, and are totally negatively affective to my life, but none of it is that bad. These people not only survive, they are there for their children etc. and are usually the best moral people. Of course, the culmination of all the damage creates more damage, and is the source for the sickness in our culture that has cost me so much. But we can't blame other victims. Especially now I just credited them with saving my life by giving me the perspective to maintain some humility. You have to beat fear. You do that with courage. Courage is the Key emotion related to Honor. You can practice your courage through practicing Honor. That means things like telling the Truth even when it's embarrassing or will cause stress, or may cause a reaction in some one. Face it, face that fear. Think about your daily habits, and your actual values, are you really honoring what you believe? Make that change no matter how scary. You will find things don't go the way you thought ty would, and you will have more courage to do i again, in a bigger spot, etc. Honor takes courage. And courage conquers fear. Courage leads to the light, fear leads to the dark. They are polar opposites in our search for Truth. You must foster, build, nurture the courage in you. You must, or you will be in the darkness. Good luck Peace
I’m a neuroscience major with a long history of mental health issues. The more I really look into the formal side of psychology the more problems I find with treating mental illness like it’s in a vacuum. It’s deeply bizarre to me how when dealing with issues such as anxiety and depression people treat it like emotions are irrelevant and unscientific, when the emotional state of the person is the problem at hand. Reading papers sometimes can get so uncomfortable when people just don’t talk about the subjects like they’re human, and especially in medical settings it’s always bizarre when things that provide comfort or make people generally feel better are dismissed as unnecessary in favor of cold utilitarian design, when making the person feel better emotionally is broadly the point. It really says something that this guy came up and talked about how “people are more likely to commit if something bad happens in their life and they don’t feel like it’s worth living” like it was a revelation unconsidered by all of science. I love psychology dearly but sometimes it needs to learn that sometimes people feel bad because their life sucks and not only because of some pathological illness (also even if it is caused by a pathological illness that needs medication to be treated, generally treating them like a human being and taking to account their emotional state is also important).
The way I heard some people talk about it in the media, they say it's a hormone imbalance and talk about it like it's a disease like cancer or something. The question is what it's caused by. I believe western individualism is a big cause as to why almost everyone looks at it this way. It's just insane to me when we see this increase in loneliness, depression and suicide and think that the solution is individual therapy, while the waiting lists for therapists grow and grow. It seems like we're trying to fix the symptoms of a sick society, instead of addressing the root causes. Individualist thinking is not going to help us get out of this pit
A frustrating amount of mental health issues stem from systemic poverty, a lack of financial security really goes a long way in reducing someone's quality of life.
Durkheim's modality of suicide was made in the late 1800's... great for a broad scope to avoid anomic policy creation, but bad for practical application.

Well, I'm guessing the reason that French sociologist didn't focus on Schizophrenia and depression is two-fold: society didn't have a good understanding of mental illness, let alone schizophrenia and depression, in 1897. Second, he was a sociologist, not a psychologist; he didn't study the brain or individual metrics of well-being, he prioritized social factors that can be attributed to society.
Society had a pretty good understanding of mental illness and we have a better understanding because of these efforts. We have actually gone backwards quite a bit in the last decade or so in regards to our understanding due to the fraudulent contributions of post modernist psychology.
@@Loreweavver Totally agreed. This guy's equation, as someone who was nearly ready to commit suicide about a decade ago, is highly accurate. I had anomie in multiple ways, I had altered state through serious sleep deprivation, I was depressed to the Nth degree, but I wasn't desperate. I started to become desperate at one point, and I fortunately had the awareness to call my mom and ask for help. If I didn't, that desperation surely could have pushed me over the edge, and I believe it would have.
@@anthonyantoine9232 sleep deprivation is big. Also, isolation. Those two things can be more destructive than any drug as the effects are insidious and creep up on one without them noticing unlike a drug or alcohol that one knowingly and willingly ingest.
@@Loreweavver Yes! Isolation is also pretty key, I think. I lived with a couple roommates at the time, but I isolated myself from that most of the time.
What I want to know is this: why do people care if someone kills themselves? While alive, strangers can treat a person with aloof contempt without giving it a second thought, but if that same person then becomes suicidal, society at large suddenly cares whether or not that person is able to end things. I think the answer is that when someone becomes suicidal, they become larger than an individual person who is able to be fit into a box by society at large. They become a person who has transcended society by choosing, in the most drastic and irreversible way, to reject it in its entirety. I think the reason why we cannot allow people to make their own choices about when to die - even those who we can admit have a justifiable reason for doing so, such as the elderly and infirm - is that we cannot allow such a negation of the seemingly innate meaning of society to take place. We see suicide as an attack on the foundation of our human conceit - that life has an inherent meaning.
My brother was mp, and now he is moving on to civilian police. I've spent many nights on the phone with him. I love him, I care for him.

I cant let that happen to him.

I remember in 2008/2009 during the big crash and recession working near a railway line. Saw 2 people jump to their deaths in short succession. The railway company had to put up fences to make the high speed line platforms empty.
I think it simply boils down to Loss of Emotional/Thought/Meaning Control What the professor showed makes sense, but it doesn't cover the whole picture. Depression might be the most common cause of suicide because it takes on the emotional/logic/meaning side of a person, but if there is a distinction between these three the thing becomes more complex For example, if someone has tried everything to solve their issues, but their condition keeps worsening and they can't really see a way out anymore, the emotional side shuts down and it makes sense to suicide on a logical level. At that point I believe there's no turning back, unless the person is forcefully brainwashed to rewire the thought process in a more positive way, as he will never see a way out on his own Or when someone feels so good he wouldn't care to die in that specific moment as he would've experienced the very peak life had to offer and everything would be downhill from there on. Especially in extreme episodes of Mania, a person can feel so good life loses its material meaning, so it becomes easier to slip and commit suicide so the happiness never ends Or if there is a clear disconnection with the external reality, and delusions are in play, a person could believe he wouldn't die with a bullet to the brain, for example, so he could try it and accidentally commit suicide But in every single case there is a neglect in personal needs either consciously or not, which then transforms itself in a loss of control based on the situation and events and can end up into suicide based on the intensity of the whole thing These are my thoughts and personal insights about the matter after years of introspection and talking with other suicidal patients
"most of them are not suicidal, they're just depressed" um, bro, I can guarantee you that most of them are. We just don't say it out loud because that gets us 5150'd
People often differentiate "no will/reason to live" and "being suicidal" I am no profession, but from my experience the former is the early stage of suicidal tendencies
@@headBookBookExactly that. Just because somebody isn’t suicidal *yet* doesn’t mean they aren’t well on their way to doing it anyway. The line between “I don’t want to live like this” , “I don’t want to live” , and “I want to die” are very thin
As someone that studies psychology on the side but has had past struggles with depression and ideation; The core issue often leads to how the individual was treated as a child and the traumas they have survived through. Alot of people are operating from a shitty life that they have valid reasons to feel like things have been unfair. But no matter how unfair life has been, you can always rise from the ashes to do better and be better. Because no one should let those that hurt you or failed to help you be the death of you.
"You can always rise from the ashes." Do you know how many homeless people end up starving or otherwise dying to violence or the lack of shelter? Almost half of the US population spends their entire lives in poverty for a reason; The money never trickles down. Furthermore, here's a source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5831185/ Notice in the discussion: Almost all of the factors that contribute to mortality, especially the ones driven by poverty, are ALSO in the equation for potential found in this video. Telling someone to "rise from the ashes" won't help when their body and heart are decaying and failing due to circumstance alone. (Study: "Cardiovascular disease was the most prevalent cause of death..." which can be caused by many many factors. See: www.who.int/health-topics/cardiovascular-diseases#tab=tab_1 ) People know when they're dying a slow painful death, it's bold to say that they're mistaken when we have studies on the prevalence of said deaths...
@@fenjohrer Well, here is the crux of it. While you are correct that there are people that are often overly blaming things outside of themselves, rational people don't go out of their way to blame things on everybody else. When someone is emotionally stable, there's a certain level of accepting ones own part to play in things and that taking it out on someone else would be rude and isn't mature. But life can be difficult for everyone and requires some emotional processing, acceptance and maybe even some problem solving. When people haven't learned how to do that or they have received let's say a difficult childhood where their parents repeatedly insult them and traumatize them over and over, then they go out of their way to complain and blame things other than themselves, because they have all this chaos inside themselves they are projecting out into the world. Then depression may come from a lack of ability to change that, to change all the negative things in life, in the world or about theirself. But in reality their perception of those things is a hyper focus of the most negative aspects of life and isn't looking at things from other perspectives. Sometimes they don't even have depression and become narcissistic egomaniacs that want to control everything so that they never have to feel bad about themselves. Lol What I'm ultimately trying to say is that it is nuanced and very complicated, everyone handles trauma differently. There are both biological and environmental conditions that influence a person's emotional reactivity and ability to function normally.
I once heard a police man summarize it really simply. 'Cant change myself. It wont change by itself. Nobody can/will change it.' With constant pain. Its like jumping out of a building in fire. Its not that the jump is safer, is that the fire is too much.
You are one quick sleeper. Either that or you have autoplay and managed to get it playing again? If it's the latter I'd be buying a lottery ticket, like yesterday.
On the “anomie”, psychiatry should be ashamed for being so incompetent and blind as to totally disregard the existential aspects of someone’s mental state.
@@petarpejic1468 psychiatry is very similar to religion. There is a priest class. There are practices, ethics, morals, sins, rituals, etc. For the belief system to function properly, it requires a large degree of faith from the average person. I wouldn’t really try to convince the average person of any of that, as I don’t want to be alienated like an apostate.
@DavidConnerCodeaholic uuh I agree so much with this. I've been in a day clinic for a couple of weeks now and it's wild to see all the parallels, even though the doctors and psychologist really don't (want to) see it. It's a religion that tries to be based on science; but you'll have to make so many leaps of faith to trust the caretakers and what they're saying..
@@DavidConnerCodeaholicexcept psychiatry is verified by empirical evidence. Whatever else goes into it due to external ideological distortions (think of big pharma, or very suspicious research articles), not because the subject itself is somehow inherently "religious". Everything needs faith in practices to a certain degree; you have faith that your car won't suddenly blow up upon starting even if it is a possibility. Whatever stands as a justification for a belief is nothing more than another belief. People forget that psychiatry, and all of medicine really is not only a science, but also an indendent social practice, like the law or education. It has some elements of research, and others which are strictly practical, and the mediation between the two is an extremely delicate matter.
"It then remains for us to specify the attitude of immanent philosophy towards the man who takes his own life and towards the criminal. How easily the stone falls from one's hand onto the grave of the man who has killed himself, how difficult in contrast was the struggle of the poor man who laid himself so well to rest. First he cast from afar an anxious glance at Death and turned away in horror; then, trembling, he skirted Him in wide arcs; but with each day the distance grew smaller and smaller until finally he threw his tired arms around Death's neck and looked Him in the eye: and in those eyes was a peace, sweet peace. Whoever can bear the burden of conscious existence no more, let him cast it off. Whoever can hold out no longer in the carnival hall of life-or, as Jean Paul says, in the great servants’ quarters of the world-let him step out through the ever opened door into the still night." - Philipp Mainländer
I deal with chemical depression, take meds for it from time to time. I can tell when my depression hits, I get serious suicidal ideations. One of the main things that keeps me from actually doing it. I’ve heard survivors of suicide say, right when I jumped, I had remorse for my actions. And while falling to I thought was going to be my death, I wanted to live. So even in our gravest, darkest times in our minds, we still Cleve to life. Hope that helps, every time I think about doing it, there’s something that occurs after that makes me glad I didn’t. Believe it or not, there are things in life worth living for and if you do it, guess what? No one will care.

You will come to realize that its actually better to know the knowabouts, as this serves as insights in what to tweak, recognise and shut uff, or improve.

I looked it up out of curiosity and rates actually go DOWN during the months surrounding US presidential elections. My armchair theory is that it's something for people to care about. It can inspire passion, even if that's passionate rage, there's a communal element to be found in it, and a lot of exposure to election rhetoric about hope, the future, and looking forward with optimism could be effective in challenging negative thoughts. For sure is interesting!
This is like slapping a band aid on a deep cut. What if people are doing this because the entire SYSTEM we’ve created is a nightmare? But sure, it’s only a personal problem…
Because only those who haven’t emotionally developed blame it on a big covert conspiracy. The system won’t change itself for you. Realising that is a fundamental part of growing up. Sure, depression impedes that process - but it is borne out of selfish thinking.
The issue is not just the system we created, it is the system of nature itself that leads to our suffering. If we could just create a utopia then nobody would have any reason to exploit others and everyone would want to build such a utopia but there is seemingly no path towards such a utopia and so instead we fight to be at the top of the exploitation game because exploitation will happen anyway and we would rather not be the ones being exploited. The universe is seemingly a zero sum game; everything gained comes with an equal loss. Work never pays off because you will always lose more energy than you can gain from working. The workaround is to exploit, to steal, to gain that which you did not put in. We have no choice but to exploit, one way or another, or else we gain nothing.
@@JupaI agree up until the “selfish thinking” part. Depression often spawns from a desire to do better (Both to themselves, but especially others). Its part of why shame was mentioned as an important factor. Often depressed people continue to live for others long after their selfish wishes turned to death.

Although I would consider myself to be quite suicidal, I seem to be fairly low-risk when assessed by the equation. My life is not in any particular disorder or disarray. No drugs, alcohol, sleep deprivation, psychosis, etc that could cause an altered state. I don't really feel like I have any kind of time limit to fix things by. The only aspect that really fits me is depression, as my psychiatrist states that I am severely depressed. That being said, I do agree with what was said about not all depressed people being suicidal. And there are many other emotional states (anxiety, anger, paranoia, etc) that can spawn suicidal thoughts as well. But because of the diverse way suicidal thoughts can manifest, I think it would unfortunately be impossible to come up with one equation/evaluation that will catch all of us in time
I knew this years ago after figuring out the basic operating principle of humans, we look towards the easiest way towards our desired outcomes according to our value judgments. Put simply, if someone kills themself, it’s usually because it was (in their view, right or wrong) the most expedient way to achieve their goal, whatever it may be, even if it harms them (which explains why addicts are a thing). So the solution would be, fundamentally, to get people to step back and properly look at and attempt alternate solutions to the problem, *or* realise the problem was nonsensical to begin with. Bit callous, but the rationale is sound.
Hey, it's not so callous. Lots of the time suicidal people simply want to not be suffering anymore. Helping people live in less pain is a good goal. And oftentimes it's far easier and more effective to help others than it would be for everyone to help themselves.
that presumes suicide is irrational. There isnt any way to determine this ultimately, which is why intelligent people still commit suicide. The issue here isnt callousness, its arrogance in your faith that life is valuable. Although, its not an uncommon view despite having no fundamental basis for the last 100-200 years.
@@badabing3391It’s a reasonable assumption for the vast majority of cases. Even intelligent people can be in severe anguish that at the time feels insurmountable. I’ve been in situations where I hurt so badly I would’ve ended it, but looking back I’m glad I didn’t because I was only able to think in the short term due to pain. Maybe some people do sanguinely perform the grim calculus but I doubt that’s true most of the time. Whatever is happening has to overcome our innate instinct for self-preservation, which is an irrational instinct. Hard to overcome instinct with rationality and argumentation.
@@daymar3 i dont disagree that under a persons own worldview suicide is often irrational, but i do think a large portion of people who commit suicide do so for at least good reasons if not totally rational ones. If your life has been on the downswing for over a decade, its not irrational to assume it will likely not get back to a level that youd care to live for, even if its technically coincidental. Problems compound, theyre rarely isolated events.
Its so weird to have a clinician promote religion like its whatever (im just saying it as it is). He says being highly spiritual lessen the tendency of suicidality bc it either dissuade you thru thought crimes or bc there is an external being that cares for you. Thats some kind of mental gaslighting or some form of cbt i wouldnt wish on someone. I would think the 'high spirituality' is more of the social support you would get surrounded by ppl who think similarly of being dissuaded from suicide, like a group think, so eveyone would think 'suicide is bad' instead of 'i wouldnt commit suicide bc ppl will think differently of me and my family'. Thats just my take on the vid

Someday that might change.
Hey this is true! I was suicidal and I do think my atheism made me more desperate because I felt like I was 100% responsible for whatever happened to me. Was already depressed, so that helped things along too. Good times
I feel like in certain situations religiosity can make suicide more likely though, dependent on the religious belief. Like, if you believe in reincarnation, then self-terminating is basically just a do-over button, right? I've also heard of situations in ancient Norse cultures where old or injured soldiers would challenge someone more competent than them to combat so that they could die in battle. This could be considered a kind of suicide by combat.
@@eslaweedguygrey Good point. I do know that in Hinduism (a religion based on reincarnation) suicide is condemned as an unnatural form of death and therefore it is said those who commit it will never be able to attain heaven.

Today, it's a bigger problem than just observing and comforting the individual. Our ways of life are causing more mental health and depression, than we are creating a world of less suffering. You could probably run fast food and walmart out of town and see better statistics on mental health than about any other straight forward change we could do.
(1) misreading of Durkheim [not an individualist acct]; (2) if depression is necessary but not sufficient, same criticism applies to anomie/desperation; (3) “spirituality” isn’t needed, community suffices (cf Durkheim); (4) “depression” not associated directly w/ suicide, as it lowers the will to act. it’s often a brief recession of the depressive condition that enables suicide.
went to chatgpt, The comment you provided seems to critique some points made in the video regarding sociological and psychological understandings of depression, suicide, and the role of community or spirituality. Here’s a breakdown of the points mentioned: 1. **Misreading of Durkheim (not an individualist account)**: Émile Durkheim, a sociologist, is known for his theory on suicide, where he argued that suicide is not just an individual act but a social phenomenon influenced by factors like the lack of social integration and moral regulation. This critique suggests that the video might have wrongly interpreted Durkheim as presenting an individualistic account of suicide, while Durkheim focused on social factors, particularly the breakdown of community bonds (anomie). 2. **If depression is necessary but not sufficient, same criticism applies to anomie/desperation**: The comment implies that if the video argues depression is a necessary but not sufficient cause of suicide, the same logic should apply to Durkheim’s concept of *anomie* (a state of normlessness or social instability). Durkheim posited that anomie or social desperation could lead to suicide but acknowledged that it alone doesn’t directly cause it, much like depression. 3. **“Spirituality” isn’t needed, community suffices (cf Durkheim)**: The comment argues that instead of focusing on "spirituality" as a solution, community or social integration alone, as Durkheim emphasized, is enough to prevent suicide. Durkheim believed that strong social ties and community connections help protect individuals from suicide by giving them a sense of belonging and purpose. 4. **“Depression” not associated directly with suicide, as it lowers the will to act. It’s often a brief recession of the depressive condition that enables suicide**: This point challenges the common assumption that depression directly leads to suicide. The commenter highlights that during deep depression, a person’s energy and motivation are often so low that they may not have the will to act on suicidal thoughts. It’s during moments of slight recovery, when energy levels temporarily improve, that a person might be more likely to attempt suicide. This aligns with some psychological research on the relationship between depression and suicide attempts. In summary, the comment critiques potential misinterpretations of Durkheim’s theory of suicide and suggests that the role of community (not spirituality) is central, while also discussing the complex relationship between depression and suicide.

I read that people can often be suicidal and depressed, and the depression is the thing which prevents them from taking action in committing suicide, but then if say they start an antidepressant, it gives them the motivation now, and get up and go, to actually take their own life, as before, the depression was holding them back. Hence why it's a concern, prescribing for this group of patients.
Right. Because they come from that deep, psycho-motor exhaustion, and regain some energy and ability to move to begin with. Well enough to get up and do stuff, but not think outside of that depressed state.

Psychiatrist there would give me like 10 seconds of time and just say you're doing good. The girls would come out crying after talking to him because we were all being held there against our will. People who were taken involuntarily had to go to court just to get out. Taken from their jobs and families. It was disgusting. I have no idea how they're allowed to do that.

Why is suicidality so confusing to some people? The simple fact of the matter is that life is ASS for a LOT of people, and there is very little avenue for change from that.
Constant pain and suffering on a constant downward spiral? For another day? Yeah why not.
That's not a fact, but an opinion. Not to say it's invalid but often for people who are struggling to understand depression I've found it comes from not being able to understand that some people struggle to see how they can change their life.

It's silly, imo. Nothing is worth that kind of stress or self isolation. People just want too much. So many people out there wanting a friend, or love, or adventure, or respect, whatever one's pain. You can just ignore it all and choose to be happy, choose to disregard negative forces. Think about trafficking victims, slaves, people who's loved ones are murdered, families going from war to refugee camp, to foreign country and culture, child abuse, all these people live among us, and are doctors, politicians, bakers, etc. I can't speak for you, but these thoughts make me wonder how I can be sorry about anything. The attacks I've suffered completely suck, and are totally negatively affective to my life, but none of it is that bad. These people not only survive, they are there for their children etc. and are usually the best moral people.
Of course, the culmination of all the damage creates more damage, and is the source for the sickness in our culture that has cost me so much. But we can't blame other victims. Especially now I just credited them with saving my life by giving me the perspective to maintain some humility.
You have to beat fear. You do that with courage. Courage is the Key emotion related to Honor. You can practice your courage through practicing Honor. That means things like telling the Truth even when it's embarrassing or will cause stress, or may cause a reaction in some one. Face it, face that fear. Think about your daily habits, and your actual values, are you really honoring what you believe? Make that change no matter how scary. You will find things don't go the way you thought ty would, and you will have more courage to do i again, in a bigger spot, etc. Honor takes courage. And courage conquers fear. Courage leads to the light, fear leads to the dark. They are polar opposites in our search for Truth. You must foster, build, nurture the courage in you. You must, or you will be in the darkness.

Why did my comment get deleted?
Indeed comrade 🫡 just out here in the trenches googling trench foot while looking at our trench foot.
I’m a neuroscience major with a long history of mental health issues. The more I really look into the formal side of psychology the more problems I find with treating mental illness like it’s in a vacuum. It’s deeply bizarre to me how when dealing with issues such as anxiety and depression people treat it like emotions are irrelevant and unscientific, when the emotional state of the person is the problem at hand. Reading papers sometimes can get so uncomfortable when people just don’t talk about the subjects like they’re human, and especially in medical settings it’s always bizarre when things that provide comfort or make people generally feel better are dismissed as unnecessary in favor of cold utilitarian design, when making the person feel better emotionally is broadly the point. It really says something that this guy came up and talked about how “people are more likely to commit if something bad happens in their life and they don’t feel like it’s worth living” like it was a revelation unconsidered by all of science. I love psychology dearly but sometimes it needs to learn that sometimes people feel bad because their life sucks and not only because of some pathological illness (also even if it is caused by a pathological illness that needs medication to be treated, generally treating them like a human being and taking to account their emotional state is also important).
The way I heard some people talk about it in the media, they say it's a hormone imbalance and talk about it like it's a disease like cancer or something. The question is what it's caused by. I believe western individualism is a big cause as to why almost everyone looks at it this way. It's just insane to me when we see this increase in loneliness, depression and suicide and think that the solution is individual therapy, while the waiting lists for therapists grow and grow. It seems like we're trying to fix the symptoms of a sick society, instead of addressing the root causes. Individualist thinking is not going to help us get out of this pit
A frustrating amount of mental health issues stem from systemic poverty, a lack of financial security really goes a long way in reducing someone's quality of life.
Durkheim's modality of suicide was made in the late 1800's... great for a broad scope to avoid anomic policy creation, but bad for practical application.

Well, I'm guessing the reason that French sociologist didn't focus on Schizophrenia and depression is two-fold: society didn't have a good understanding of mental illness, let alone schizophrenia and depression, in 1897. Second, he was a sociologist, not a psychologist; he didn't study the brain or individual metrics of well-being, he prioritized social factors that can be attributed to society.
Society had a pretty good understanding of mental illness and we have a better understanding because of these efforts.
We have actually gone backwards quite a bit in the last decade or so in regards to our understanding due to the fraudulent contributions of post modernist psychology.
@@Loreweavver Totally agreed. This guy's equation, as someone who was nearly ready to commit suicide about a decade ago, is highly accurate. I had anomie in multiple ways, I had altered state through serious sleep deprivation, I was depressed to the Nth degree, but I wasn't desperate. I started to become desperate at one point, and I fortunately had the awareness to call my mom and ask for help. If I didn't, that desperation surely could have pushed me over the edge, and I believe it would have.
@@anthonyantoine9232 sleep deprivation is big.
Also, isolation.
Those two things can be more destructive than any drug as the effects are insidious and creep up on one without them noticing unlike a drug or alcohol that one knowingly and willingly ingest.
@@Loreweavver Yes! Isolation is also pretty key, I think. I lived with a couple roommates at the time, but I isolated myself from that most of the time.
@@Loreweavver what exactly are these contributions?
What I want to know is this: why do people care if someone kills themselves? While alive, strangers can treat a person with aloof contempt without giving it a second thought, but if that same person then becomes suicidal, society at large suddenly cares whether or not that person is able to end things. I think the answer is that when someone becomes suicidal, they become larger than an individual person who is able to be fit into a box by society at large. They become a person who has transcended society by choosing, in the most drastic and irreversible way, to reject it in its entirety. I think the reason why we cannot allow people to make their own choices about when to die - even those who we can admit have a justifiable reason for doing so, such as the elderly and infirm - is that we cannot allow such a negation of the seemingly innate meaning of society to take place. We see suicide as an attack on the foundation of our human conceit - that life has an inherent meaning.

I think it simply boils down to Loss of Emotional/Thought/Meaning Control
What the professor showed makes sense, but it doesn't cover the whole picture. Depression might be the most common cause of suicide because it takes on the emotional/logic/meaning side of a person, but if there is a distinction between these three the thing becomes more complex
For example, if someone has tried everything to solve their issues, but their condition keeps worsening and they can't really see a way out anymore, the emotional side shuts down and it makes sense to suicide on a logical level. At that point I believe there's no turning back, unless the person is forcefully brainwashed to rewire the thought process in a more positive way, as he will never see a way out on his own
Or when someone feels so good he wouldn't care to die in that specific moment as he would've experienced the very peak life had to offer and everything would be downhill from there on. Especially in extreme episodes of Mania, a person can feel so good life loses its material meaning, so it becomes easier to slip and commit suicide so the happiness never ends
Or if there is a clear disconnection with the external reality, and delusions are in play, a person could believe he wouldn't die with a bullet to the brain, for example, so he could try it and accidentally commit suicide
But in every single case there is a neglect in personal needs either consciously or not, which then transforms itself in a loss of control based on the situation and events and can end up into suicide based on the intensity of the whole thing
These are my thoughts and personal insights about the matter after years of introspection and talking with other suicidal patients

@@headBookBookExactly that.
Just because somebody isn’t suicidal *yet* doesn’t mean they aren’t well on their way to doing it anyway.
The line between “I don’t want to live like this” , “I don’t want to live” , and “I want to die” are very thin
As someone that studies psychology on the side but has had past struggles with depression and ideation; The core issue often leads to how the individual was treated as a child and the traumas they have survived through. Alot of people are operating from a shitty life that they have valid reasons to feel like things have been unfair. But no matter how unfair life has been, you can always rise from the ashes to do better and be better. Because no one should let those that hurt you or failed to help you be the death of you.
"You can always rise from the ashes." Do you know how many homeless people end up starving or otherwise dying to violence or the lack of shelter? Almost half of the US population spends their entire lives in poverty for a reason; The money never trickles down.
Furthermore, here's a source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5831185/
Notice in the discussion: Almost all of the factors that contribute to mortality, especially the ones driven by poverty, are ALSO in the equation for potential found in this video. Telling someone to "rise from the ashes" won't help when their body and heart are decaying and failing due to circumstance alone. (Study: "Cardiovascular disease was the most prevalent cause of death..." which can be caused by many many factors. See: www.who.int/health-topics/cardiovascular-diseases#tab=tab_1 )
People know when they're dying a slow painful death, it's bold to say that they're mistaken when we have studies on the prevalence of said deaths...

@@fenjohrer Well, here is the crux of it. While you are correct that there are people that are often overly blaming things outside of themselves, rational people don't go out of their way to blame things on everybody else. When someone is emotionally stable, there's a certain level of accepting ones own part to play in things and that taking it out on someone else would be rude and isn't mature. But life can be difficult for everyone and requires some emotional processing, acceptance and maybe even some problem solving. When people haven't learned how to do that or they have received let's say a difficult childhood where their parents repeatedly insult them and traumatize them over and over, then they go out of their way to complain and blame things other than themselves, because they have all this chaos inside themselves they are projecting out into the world. Then depression may come from a lack of ability to change that, to change all the negative things in life, in the world or about theirself. But in reality their perception of those things is a hyper focus of the most negative aspects of life and isn't looking at things from other perspectives. Sometimes they don't even have depression and become narcissistic egomaniacs that want to control everything so that they never have to feel bad about themselves. Lol What I'm ultimately trying to say is that it is nuanced and very complicated, everyone handles trauma differently. There are both biological and environmental conditions that influence a person's emotional reactivity and ability to function normally.
@fenjohrer the idea of realizing you have trauma is to heal it, not to blame the rest of the world for it

On the “anomie”, psychiatry should be ashamed for being so incompetent and blind as to totally disregard the existential aspects of someone’s mental state.
They have the spirituality/religion parameter.
@@petarpejic1468 psychiatry is very similar to religion. There is a priest class. There are practices, ethics, morals, sins, rituals, etc. For the belief system to function properly, it requires a large degree of faith from the average person.
I wouldn’t really try to convince the average person of any of that, as I don’t want to be alienated like an apostate.
@DavidConnerCodeaholic uuh I agree so much with this. I've been in a day clinic for a couple of weeks now and it's wild to see all the parallels, even though the doctors and psychologist really don't (want to) see it. It's a religion that tries to be based on science; but you'll have to make so many leaps of faith to trust the caretakers and what they're saying..
@@DavidConnerCodeaholicexcept psychiatry is verified by empirical evidence. Whatever else goes into it due to external ideological distortions (think of big pharma, or very suspicious research articles), not because the subject itself is somehow inherently "religious". Everything needs faith in practices to a certain degree; you have faith that your car won't suddenly blow up upon starting even if it is a possibility. Whatever stands as a justification for a belief is nothing more than another belief.
People forget that psychiatry, and all of medicine really is not only a science, but also an indendent social practice, like the law or education. It has some elements of research, and others which are strictly practical, and the mediation between the two is an extremely delicate matter.
Shit Life Syndrome. Medical professionals are aware of it.
"It then remains for us to specify the attitude of immanent philosophy towards the man who takes his own life and towards the criminal. How easily the stone falls from one's hand onto the grave of the man who has killed himself, how difficult in contrast was the struggle of the poor man who laid himself so well to rest. First he cast from afar an anxious glance at Death and turned away in horror; then, trembling, he skirted Him in wide arcs; but with each day the distance grew smaller and smaller until finally he threw his tired arms around Death's neck and looked Him in the eye: and in those eyes was a peace, sweet peace. Whoever can bear the burden of conscious existence no more, let him cast it off. Whoever can hold out no longer in the carnival hall of life-or, as Jean Paul says, in the great servants’ quarters of the world-let him step out through the ever opened door into the still night." - Philipp Mainländer
I deal with chemical depression, take meds for it from time to time. I can tell when my depression hits, I get serious suicidal ideations. One of the main things that keeps me from actually doing it. I’ve heard survivors of suicide say, right when I jumped, I had remorse for my actions. And while falling to I thought was going to be my death, I wanted to live. So even in our gravest, darkest times in our minds, we still Cleve to life.
Hope that helps, every time I think about doing it, there’s something that occurs after that makes me glad I didn’t. Believe it or not, there are things in life worth living for and if you do it, guess what? No one will care.

It's an election year in the USA, so I guess they decided they needed more videos like this recommended.
Some people might need this video to help others depending on the election results unfortunately.
Lots more dead people voting democrat this year
What a ridiculous reason to kill yourself 🙄
I looked it up out of curiosity and rates actually go DOWN during the months surrounding US presidential elections.
My armchair theory is that it's something for people to care about. It can inspire passion, even if that's passionate rage, there's a communal element to be found in it, and a lot of exposure to election rhetoric about hope, the future, and looking forward with optimism could be effective in challenging negative thoughts.
For sure is interesting!

This is like slapping a band aid on a deep cut. What if people are doing this because the entire SYSTEM we’ve created is a nightmare? But sure, it’s only a personal problem…
He literally talks about anomie as a factor
Because only those who haven’t emotionally developed blame it on a big covert conspiracy.
The system won’t change itself for you. Realising that is a fundamental part of growing up. Sure, depression impedes that process - but it is borne out of selfish thinking.
The issue is not just the system we created, it is the system of nature itself that leads to our suffering. If we could just create a utopia then nobody would have any reason to exploit others and everyone would want to build such a utopia but there is seemingly no path towards such a utopia and so instead we fight to be at the top of the exploitation game because exploitation will happen anyway and we would rather not be the ones being exploited. The universe is seemingly a zero sum game; everything gained comes with an equal loss. Work never pays off because you will always lose more energy than you can gain from working. The workaround is to exploit, to steal, to gain that which you did not put in. We have no choice but to exploit, one way or another, or else we gain nothing.
@@JupaI agree up until the “selfish thinking” part.
Depression often spawns from a desire to do better (Both to themselves, but especially others). Its part of why shame was mentioned as an important factor.
Often depressed people continue to live for others long after their selfish wishes turned to death.

Wow condolences for your friend
I lost a close friend and my own mom to suicide. In both cases, the sudden relaxed and happier demeanor was there. Both times, I mistaked that for them getting better. Any sudden change in people's default behaviour really worries me now.
I’ve had 4-7 friends commit suicide. I’m too horny.

Suicide by Cop is a real thing.
I will never see another therapist again. Its up to you to handle your own shit. They're uptimately there for the paycheck.. take meds if you want but its up to you to fix yourself.
We are our own best physicians. Good therapists are really hard to come by, and even when you find a good one, it’s still paid listening.
Totally relevant subject and I’m glad it’s in everyone feed

The stupidity of this world is reason enough.
So... anomie?
Exactly that. Bunch of spinless dung sacks enabling this rancid system. Look at Japan. They're considered a few decades ahead of the USA and let's see. Dwindling birth rates with soaring self termination rates. Oh boy almost like everything in place is unnatural. All of this trash. This phone. The jobs. The politics. The fake food. The crime. The corruption. The poisons in our goods. I can go on. Today is trash. Everything about it is absolute garbage.
Not just that life situations bad ones long and painful like losing a job and dignity
My heart goes out to everyone grieving
I don't really feel bad for anyone that has the power to legally destroy anothers life and barely has the literacy or basic competency to know how rules and laws work. And thanks to this guy there's now a programmable formula for something we as a species shouldn't be able to control
that "programmable formula" has always existed for limited contexts for all of human history. People learn how to wield trauma and abuse from the time theyre children lol.

When you realize the factors he put in the equation, and how he addressed it, are lacking a good fundamental background.

Depression and s****de are the highest they've ever been so its no wonder this is recommended
Although I would consider myself to be quite suicidal, I seem to be fairly low-risk when assessed by the equation. My life is not in any particular disorder or disarray. No drugs, alcohol, sleep deprivation, psychosis, etc that could cause an altered state. I don't really feel like I have any kind of time limit to fix things by. The only aspect that really fits me is depression, as my psychiatrist states that I am severely depressed.
That being said, I do agree with what was said about not all depressed people being suicidal. And there are many other emotional states (anxiety, anger, paranoia, etc) that can spawn suicidal thoughts as well. But because of the diverse way suicidal thoughts can manifest, I think it would unfortunately be impossible to come up with one equation/evaluation that will catch all of us in time
Some people don't even have the capacity to attempt suicide themselves, but wouldn't save themselves if in a life death situation.

I knew this years ago after figuring out the basic operating principle of humans, we look towards the easiest way towards our desired outcomes according to our value judgments.
Put simply, if someone kills themself, it’s usually because it was (in their view, right or wrong) the most expedient way to achieve their goal, whatever it may be, even if it harms them (which explains why addicts are a thing).
So the solution would be, fundamentally, to get people to step back and properly look at and attempt alternate solutions to the problem, *or* realise the problem was nonsensical to begin with.
Bit callous, but the rationale is sound.
Hey, it's not so callous. Lots of the time suicidal people simply want to not be suffering anymore. Helping people live in less pain is a good goal. And oftentimes it's far easier and more effective to help others than it would be for everyone to help themselves.
Far less callous than my schizo ramblings, you pretty much summed up my thoughts sanely.
that presumes suicide is irrational. There isnt any way to determine this ultimately, which is why intelligent people still commit suicide. The issue here isnt callousness, its arrogance in your faith that life is valuable. Although, its not an uncommon view despite having no fundamental basis for the last 100-200 years.
@@badabing3391It’s a reasonable assumption for the vast majority of cases. Even intelligent people can be in severe anguish that at the time feels insurmountable. I’ve been in situations where I hurt so badly I would’ve ended it, but looking back I’m glad I didn’t because I was only able to think in the short term due to pain. Maybe some people do sanguinely perform the grim calculus but I doubt that’s true most of the time. Whatever is happening has to overcome our innate instinct for self-preservation, which is an irrational instinct. Hard to overcome instinct with rationality and argumentation.
@@daymar3 i dont disagree that under a persons own worldview suicide is often irrational, but i do think a large portion of people who commit suicide do so for at least good reasons if not totally rational ones. If your life has been on the downswing for over a decade, its not irrational to assume it will likely not get back to a level that youd care to live for, even if its technically coincidental. Problems compound, theyre rarely isolated events.
My algorithm is unmatched?
I'm guessing that this video's blowing up because so many people, like me, are jumping to watch it before RUclips notices it exists.

Was sent to the psych ward because I had 2 comorbid sleep disorders. Felt out-of-body 24/7 and was going through immense suffering
Its so weird to have a clinician promote religion like its whatever (im just saying it as it is). He says being highly spiritual lessen the tendency of suicidality bc it either dissuade you thru thought crimes or bc there is an external being that cares for you. Thats some kind of mental gaslighting or some form of cbt i wouldnt wish on someone. I would think the 'high spirituality' is more of the social support you would get surrounded by ppl who think similarly of being dissuaded from suicide, like a group think, so eveyone would think 'suicide is bad' instead of 'i wouldnt commit suicide bc ppl will think differently of me and my family'. Thats just my take on the vid

I always knew I had some potential!
I've been in some deep depression, and I'm about as deep as I've ever been right now, but I would never commit su1c1de. There's no telling what remains in the future, and I'll never gamble against my own curiosity.
Yea same as much as I hate where I am right now i still have hope that maybe something changes
I love myself a lot but buried that feeling, deep, deep inside to protect it, deep enough that I forgot about it
If I die, that feeling dies with me, and that feeling and the person I was back when I felt it, they don't deserve to die
Personally, i always considered it Pain Math. Will flushing my frog hurt more than living the rest of my predictable life? Naturally there are a number of variables that are set to change; available methods, altered life course and circumstances, etc. So far I've decided that flushing my frog with the methods available will be more painful than continuing to live under my current circumstances, so i live. Someday that might change.
Hey this is true! I was suicidal and I do think my atheism made me more desperate because I felt like I was 100% responsible for whatever happened to me. Was already depressed, so that helped things along too. Good times

@@daanstrik4293 At the height of my desperation I was ironically 'praying' I could pray
I feel like in certain situations religiosity can make suicide more likely though, dependent on the religious belief. Like, if you believe in reincarnation, then self-terminating is basically just a do-over button, right? I've also heard of situations in ancient Norse cultures where old or injured soldiers would challenge someone more competent than them to combat so that they could die in battle. This could be considered a kind of suicide by combat.
@@eslaweedguygrey Good point. I do know that in Hinduism (a religion based on reincarnation) suicide is condemned as an unnatural form of death and therefore it is said those who commit it will never be able to attain heaven.

Today, it's a bigger problem than just observing and comforting the individual. Our ways of life are causing more mental health and depression, than we are creating a world of less suffering. You could probably run fast food and walmart out of town and see better statistics on mental health than about any other straight forward change we could do.

(1) misreading of Durkheim [not an individualist acct];
(2) if depression is necessary but not sufficient, same criticism applies to anomie/desperation; (3) “spirituality” isn’t needed, community suffices (cf Durkheim);
(4) “depression” not associated directly w/ suicide, as it lowers the will to act. it’s often a brief recession of the depressive condition that enables suicide.
went to chatgpt,
The comment you provided seems to critique some points made in the video regarding sociological and psychological understandings of depression, suicide, and the role of community or spirituality. Here’s a breakdown of the points mentioned:
1. **Misreading of Durkheim (not an individualist account)**: Émile Durkheim, a sociologist, is known for his theory on suicide, where he argued that suicide is not just an individual act but a social phenomenon influenced by factors like the lack of social integration and moral regulation. This critique suggests that the video might have wrongly interpreted Durkheim as presenting an individualistic account of suicide, while Durkheim focused on social factors, particularly the breakdown of community bonds (anomie).
2. **If depression is necessary but not sufficient, same criticism applies to anomie/desperation**: The comment implies that if the video argues depression is a necessary but not sufficient cause of suicide, the same logic should apply to Durkheim’s concept of *anomie* (a state of normlessness or social instability). Durkheim posited that anomie or social desperation could lead to suicide but acknowledged that it alone doesn’t directly cause it, much like depression.
3. **“Spirituality” isn’t needed, community suffices (cf Durkheim)**: The comment argues that instead of focusing on "spirituality" as a solution, community or social integration alone, as Durkheim emphasized, is enough to prevent suicide. Durkheim believed that strong social ties and community connections help protect individuals from suicide by giving them a sense of belonging and purpose.
4. **“Depression” not associated directly with suicide, as it lowers the will to act. It’s often a brief recession of the depressive condition that enables suicide**: This point challenges the common assumption that depression directly leads to suicide. The commenter highlights that during deep depression, a person’s energy and motivation are often so low that they may not have the will to act on suicidal thoughts. It’s during moments of slight recovery, when energy levels temporarily improve, that a person might be more likely to attempt suicide. This aligns with some psychological research on the relationship between depression and suicide attempts.
In summary, the comment critiques potential misinterpretations of Durkheim’s theory of suicide and suggests that the role of community (not spirituality) is central, while also discussing the complex relationship between depression and suicide.
