Suicide is an action still seen as too uncomfortable to talk about but happening more and more. Dr. Greg Emanuelson believes talking about it and being completely open and frank with someone you know or think is contemplating suicide could actually bring them a sense of relief.
"Just being very honest about it and being very direct can be very comforting for someone who is thinking about suicide," he explained. "Often times, people will approach it in an indirect way."
When talking about it, a sense of openness and honesty is most important, and time is of the utmost essence.
"There was a major study back in 2009 that looked at the amount of time that elapses between when someone first thinks of suicide, and when they follow through," Emanuelson told us. "That time is 10 minutes."
