"Myths About Suicide"

"Myths About Suicide" are common misconceptions that can hinder understanding and prevention. For example, some believe that talking openly about suicide encourages it, but discussing feelings can actually provide relief and help. Others assume only certain types of people are at risk, when in fact suicide can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or background. Myths about not seeking help or that suicidal individuals are just seeking attention are also false; most people experience genuine pain and benefit from support. Challenging these myths promotes awareness, compassionate responses, and effective prevention efforts.
