Physician Assisted Suicide Case Study

79 percent of people in 2013 have committed suicide according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). That percentage has been done by mostly men out of a total of 41,000. People that are thinking or talking about killing themselves. People need to notice that these people are suffering they need help, and there are some amazing people out in the world they could help. In 2010 the most recent data there was 38,364 suicides in the United States, with all the deaths they are calculating people are going around telling others they are going to go and kill themselves. There are 8.3 millions thoughts and plans have been reported that American adults have had thoughts. “In the past year, 2.2 million went as far as to make plans, and 1 million made

a suicide attempt (livescience).” Suicide is a serious matter that is usually not taking as seriously as it should be. When someone says they are going to kill themselves most people just joke around about suicide and it is not something people should joke about.
People need to keep an eye out when people show suicide warnings, most of the people that end up killing themselves are they ones that have a mental disease or a mental illness. A lot of people will kill themselves because of depression, bipolar disorder, and mental issues. Abuse is a big issue and so is drug and alcohol use, that will increase your risk of being depressed. The alcohol and drug use will make a higher risk and more thoughts of suicide. “ One-third of people who killed themselves in 2009 had alcohol in their systems, according to the CDC. About a fifth (20.8 percent) tested positive for opiates, which include prescription pain medications and heroin (livescience).” People that have had family members in the past of have had a lot family history of people that killed themselves they will never forget what happened. There are many signs of suicide you could be feeling hopeless or desperation, panic attacks, rage, or being bullied will lead to a lot. Suicide is contagious if one of your friends go and commit suicide then it will make you think that you should do the same.
“Between 50 percent and 75 percent of people who attempt suicide talk about their suicidal thoughts, feelings and plans before the act” (livescience). People that are going in the direction to killing themselves they need help and people that are there for them need to guide them. People that are thinking like thing you need to make sure they trust you so they can open up and talk to you so they are not struggling through everything by themselves. The more they keep in and not talk about the more they get depressed. You should never leave a suicidal person alone that gives them more ideas on how or why they should die. You should always remove any sharp objects, guns, drugs, alcohol, or anything that they can die off of. Suicide is the third leading cause of most deaths, causes a lot between ages ten and twenty four. “There are 4,600 deaths a year. Suicide is also the 10th leading cause of death of Americans older than age 10, killing more people than car crashes or any other cause of injury” (livescience).
In the documentaries 13 reasons why there are perfect examples in it on why the main character and her best friend committed suicide.

They were getting bullied and they were scared to go and tell people. The main character Hannah Baker killed herself because she was depressed and then people were going around saying she was a bad person. They kept saying things about her that were not true, and she was depressed and needed help. She even went into see her guidance counselor and she even said she was done with life and she felt empty, I can remember what she said from watching the shows. Hannah Baker made a whole tape about how and why she killed herself her first tape starts out like, “hello boys and girls. Hannah baker here. Live and in stereo. No return engagements, no encore, and this time absolutely no requests. I hope you’re ready, because I’m about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why it ended. And if you’re listening to these tapes, you’re one of the reasons why”(MemorableQuotes). This is a perfect way of showing how the world needs to focus more on suicide and when someone says they want to die people need to take it seriously.

There are four different types of suicide, they are different so when people say they committed suicide there are multiple reasons why they did it. The four different types are Egoistic, Anomic, Altruistic, and Fatalistic. They all have four different meaning, but the most reason is because of depression. There are many different reasons bullying is a big issue with people doing this and having thoughts of doing this. It is because people do not care how they treat other people

anymore.
Egoistic suicide is a type of suicide that happens because people they become extremely individualized singled out that have very low or no social interaction(public.iastate). These people commit suicide because they feel like they have no one or have no one, they cannot talk to anyone. If they have no one they will feel unwanted as if there life doesn't matter to anyone as if they would be better off not even being alive. The best ways to prevent Egoistic suicide is to become there friend talk to them hangout with them boost here happiness reassure them that someone is there for them and that someone cares about them. When preventing suicide you must take careful steps if not it may end up making things worse instead of helping make sure your intentions are very clear and blunt but also reassuring. Do not be afraid to ask other people for help most cases having more than one person to help makes all the difference.
The most common type of suicide happens because of depression also called Anomic depression. Depression happens from a lot of things, traumatizing events that may have happened, bullying, or a physical depression that the body creates. “Studies show that 2 out of 3 people taking antidepressants experience depression and increased thoughts of suicide”(rexulti). There are many ways to prevent suicide but the best ways to prevent it are. Get lots of sleep, everyone is grumpy in the morning when they don't get sleep most times it does not go any further than that but for someone that is already depressed or has symptoms it could become much worse(MBG). Exercise, that's right studies show that it actually increases dopamine levels in your body putting you in a better mood. Most importantly is to talk about what is going on find someone that will listen and try to understand. Finding a passion in your life something you enjoy to do goes along with all of this find something that makes you happy and act on it make it a big part of your life.
Another severe type of suicide is Altruistic suicide it means to commit suicide for the benefits of other, self-sacrifice most commonly seen in warfare (sociologyindex). Not as commonly seen but still found is sacrifice for cults, or for religions which would entail suicide bombings for trying to make statements, some religious see this as an act of honor that here will be a reward waiting for them in the afterlife, once this horrific act has been committed. This type of suicide can not efficiently be prevented because people that do this are in the correct state of mind and are make decisions based on what they believe is right. There is no good way to justify why they do this and there is no real way to prevent it. On the suicide bomber end of it there is, most governments do everything they can to prevent bombings and the loss of innocent lives but there is only so much they can do to prevent it from happening.
People that hear about suicide or that their friends are going to commit suicide they need to take it more everything more seriously. When people even mention anything about it they need to be there and help them threw the issues they have. The more people help other people help each other the less people are going to even think about it, and if people were not so rude and bullied people then this probably would not be happening. If people cared more about other people and did not always have to say rude to each other then people would actually get along in this would. Life would not be so hard for everyone some schools do not even consider half the things people do now a days bullying or harassment. People now a days need to start being more nice to each other and get along and not be so rude. This world would not be so bad if people were nice.
