why we kill ourselves(Bering's case study)
According to the prominent psychologist Jesse Bering of the University of Otago in New Zealand, in his authoritative book Suicidal: Why We Kill Ourselves (University of Chicago Press, 2018)the suicidal issue in every persons are as different as their DNA, involving chains of events that one expert calls ‘dizzying in their variety.' people include with the diversity of ages ,profession,gender and personality.
Depression the common reason seen in many suicide cases, but most people who are depressed don't kill themselves only about 5% (Bering says) and not all suicide victims are depressed,he says "about 43% of the suicide reasons can be explained by Genetics and 57% can cause by the environmental factors.
It was seen in majority of cases people kill themselves because of the other people,they are more worried about how people are going to think or behave ,"social problem-hypervigilent concern about other people's reaction stroke a deadly fire and people choose the suicide path.
also it can be impulsive and persuasive action,when the question asked that "why you try to take your life" to the suicide survivors ,majority of them says" I don't know what I was thinking that time because people can be very persuasive in arguing why they believe life—their life—is not worth living. And yet the situation looks radically different months later, sometimes because of an antidepressant, sometimes because of a change in circumstances, sometimes just a mysterious change of mind.”
If you have suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 91-9152987821 or phone a family member or friend. And wait for sometime, knowing that in time you will most likely experience one of these mysterious changes of mind and once again yearn for life.

AWARENESS
The stigma attached to suicide has lessened in recent years thanks to more people and families who have dealt with suicide starting to speaking out. Don’t be afraid to ask someone directly if they’re considering ending their own lives. Being conscious and aware that someone is a suicide risk is the first step to helping them to get the assistance they need before it is too late. Military veterans have some of the highest suicide rates of any group in the country, and as a result, there are organizations that have come forward to help people become more aware about the consequences and dangers associated with suicide. Mental health organizations are also stepping forward to reach out to parents, teens, and adults about suicide so they can get the help they need. There are also suicide awareness groups that help teach others about how to reach out to their loved ones if they are concerned.
