Some of the suicidal signs include preoccupation with death, withdrawal from family and friends, loss of interest in normal activities, sudden personality changes, and feeling hopeless.1 Signs of a suicidal person may also include changes in eating and sleeping habits, risky or self-destructive behavior, giving away personal belongings, and depression.2
Fast Facts:

- Serious depression followed by sudden calmness may be a sign that someone has made a decision commit suicide.2
- If you or someone that you know is feeling suicidal seek help from a doctor or hospital. Help can also be sought by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).3
