Continuing with the suicide myths for #WSPD2022, here's myth #4 that suicide is caused by a single factor.

This myth is still all too often perpetuated by some media reports, that reduce explanations of suicide to a single cause, which is wrong and dangerous

#SuicideMyths

[Rory O'Connor @suicideresearch]

Here's the next myth, myth #3.

It is so important that we debunk the myth that people who are suicidal clearly want to die.

Suicidal thoughts wax and wane, we need to try to keep people safe when their suicidal thoughts are at their most intense

[Rory O'Connor @suicideresearch]

Here's myth #2, asking about suicide ‘plants’ the idea in someone’s head.

This is one of the myths that I am still frequently asked about.

If you're concerned about someone, please ask the question
