Residential Suicidal Ideation Treatment in Las Vegas

Suicidal Ideation Treatment

Mental health issues in teens have become more prevalent in recent years, but the good news is that more people are now talking about mental health, and more mental health services like Ignite Teen Treatment are available to those struggling with these issues. Teen suicide is sadly the second-leading cause of death in teenagers, which means it’s more crucial than ever to pay attention to signs that your teen may be struggling with mental health issues.

It’s important to remember that you shouldn’t just be looking out for suicidal tendencies. Any indication of mental health issues that may worsen and lead to suicidal thoughts need to be acknowledged as soon as possible to find the right treatment.

The plans we offer at our depression treatment centers and our residential treatment center care packages, such as focused self harm help in teenagers, can help transform your teen’s outlook on life.

What is Suicidal Ideation?

Suicidal ideation means that a person is thinking about their death. There are different levels of suicidal ideation, including passive thoughts and more severe intent. Having suicidal thoughts means that a person may be thinking about actively taking their own life, or they may be spending time wishing that they were no longer alive. Naturally, any and all occurrences of suicidal ideation need to be dealt with as soon as possible, and treatment for suicidal thoughts sought out so that the individual can gain the support and recovery they need. This is even more paramount, however, if the individual in question is having active suicidal ideation with a high risk of likelihood that they will make an attempt on their own life.

Passive suicidal ideation means that a person may be thinking about dying or wishing they were dead but is not actively making plans to take their own life.

Active suicidal ideation means a person is actively making plans to take their own life.

Suicidal thoughts can be more prevalent in a teen or a young person, as these years can be particularly troubling and see teens battling with a high level of social pressures and problems.

Suicidal ideation in itself can also be a symptom of severe mental health issues like depression and anxiety.

Signs and Symptoms of Suicidal Ideation

It’s not always easy to tell when someone is having suicidal thoughts, especially if they are not talking openly about it or acting any different on the surface. Nevertheless, there are still signs and symptoms you can watch out for, especially if you are already aware of an existing mental health condition like depression, which may worsen and cause suicidal ideation, or if you have already been seeking a teenage self harm center.

Signs of suicidal ideation could include:

  • Injurious behavior where the individual intentionally causes harm to themselves. This could be general harm such as pinching, poking, or banging parts of the body purposefully (such as the head). Or it could be self harm in more severe circumstances, in which case it is even more imperative that you seek a teenage self harm treatment center.
  • Openly talking about death or suicidal thoughts
  • Your teen becoming more isolated and avoiding socialization, or suddenly wanting to stop speaking with specific people or friends and family
  • Substance abuse
  • Increased mood swings
  • A teen actively giving away their possessions as though they are making plans to no longer need them
  • Undertaking more high-risk behavior, as though no thought for the consequences
  • Anxiety
  • Speaking as though they may be talking with specific people for the last time (saying goodbye)
  • Openly accessing items which can cause harm, such as medication or firearms

What Can Cause Suicidal Thoughts?

Depression and suicide are commonly linked, as severe depression can cause a person to want to end their suffering. High levels of emotional pain and distress can also lead to people thinking about ending their life in order to end the pain. Trauma in a person’s life can also lead to issues with mental health as a result, and severe trauma can leave a person feeling as though they are unable to recover and therefore have nothing to live for.

Whatever the cause of suicidal thoughts, help and support is available for focused teenagers psychiatric treatment and for assistance with suicidal thoughts depression anxiety and more.
