Suicide research provides the evidence needed to determine practical, preventable actions that save lives and significantly reduce the suicide rate. There is a great deal we have already discovered due to our strong investment in research: Suicide is related to brain functions that affect decision-making and behavioral control, making it difficult for some people to find positive solutions. No one takes their life for a single reason, such as getting a divorce or losing a job. In reality, these types of stresses combine with known risk factors, such as childhood trauma, substance use, chronic pain, or other factors that contribute to someone taking their life. If someone can get through the intense and short moment of active suicidal crisis, chances are they will not go on to die by suicide, which makes bridges barriers or the temporary removal of lethal means so important. Most people who have made a past suicide attempt go on to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Certain interventions and medications have been proven to help people reduce and manage suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
