Suicide is the model of psychiatric emergencies and is the commonest cause of death among the psychiatric patients.

Suicide is a type of deliberate self- harm (DSH) and is defined as a human act of self-intentioned and self-inflicted cessation (death). It ends with a fatal outcome. DSH is an act of internationally injuring oneself, irrespective of the actual outcome.

An attempted suicide is an unsuccessful suicidal act with a nonfatal outcome. It is believed that 2-10% of all persons who attempt suicide, eventually complete suicide in the next 10 years.

A suicidal gesture, on the other hand, is an attempted suicide where the person performing the action never intends to die by the act. However, some of these persons may accidently die during the act.

 Attempted suicide is more common in women while completed suicide is 2-4 times commoner in men.

Causes

Some of the common cause of suicide include:

Psychiatric disorders

Psychiatric disorders are a major cause of suicide; for example

a. Depression

·      Major depression

·      Depression secondary to a serious physical illness

·      Reactive depression, secondary to life stressors, e.g., family and/or marital disputes, failure in goal achievement, occupational and financial difficulties, and death of significant others.

b. Alcoholism and drug dependence

c. Schizophrenia

Genetic factors (a concordance rate of 18% in monozygotic twins) and biochemical factors (low levels of 5-HIAA) are important in some cases of suicide.

Physical disorders

Patients with incurable or painful physical disorders, such as cancer and AIDS, often commit suicide.

Psychosocial factors

Psychosocial factors are very important cause of suicide. Some of the examples are failure in an examination, love affairs, dowry difficulties, marital difficulties, illegitimate pregnancy, family problems or family psychopathology, loss of a loved object by death or otherwise, occupational or financial difficulties, and social isolation. In about 16% cases, no obvious causes were found.

Management

Once suicide is committed, it is obviously no longer treatable. The management of suicide, therefore, lies in preventing the act.

Some important steps for preventing suicide include:

a. Take all suicidal threats, gestures and/or attempts seriously and notify a psychiatrist or a mental health professional.

b. Psychiatrist or a mental health professional, should quantify the seriousness of the situation (a proper risk assessment) and take remedial precautionary measures.

·      Inspect physical surroundings and remove all means of committing suicide, such as sharp objects, ropes, drugs, firearms, etc. Also, search the patient thoroughly.

·      Surveillance, depending on the severity of risk.

c. Acute psychiatric emergency interview.

d. Counselling and guidance.

·      To deal with the desire to attempt suicide.

·      To deal with on-going life stressors, and teaching copying skills and interpersonal skills.

e. Treatment of the psychiatric disorders with medication and psychotherapy.

 Follow-up care is very important to prevent future attempts or suicide.

Veratum Album

Hello Readers

Lovely Morning& Happy Reading

📚VERATRUM ALBUM

🖊It is the remedy used in patients who lives theirs lives at the verge of insanity. (Related to stramonium and syphilinum)

🖊 Though veratrums are mentally stable but they appear odd from the outsets.

🖊 The rigid psychology of veratrum patients reflects from their voice.

🖊 Veratrums are unable to interpret the reality in normal fashion due to mental off- balance.

🖊 Patient speaks in very pushy and overconfident manner where u can compare it with Nux Vom.

🖊 One who starts narrating their symptoms immediately sitting upon a chair, without waiting for the physician to address him.

🖊 Veratrum can be identified from his  arrogance and dogmatic style of expressing his own opinions.

🖊 These people are somewhat kind of bossy and dictatorial without having any regret of such behaviour.

🖊 If doing office jobs individuals are intolerant and unable to maintain the relationships with colleagues.

🖊 These patients are kind of haughty and offended easily.

🖊  If comes to manic phase, person becomes very restless and refuses to eat, this phase them turns into depression which is characterised by brooding despair, and in this phase patient sits silently for hours thinking of his illness.

🖊  One of the characteristics feature is tendency towards religious fanaticism, try hard to be pious and make amends for his sins.

🖊 In manic phase he feels that he is the chosen one by Christ to save the multitude. Exalted state of religious frenzy.

🖊 The dogmatic and aggressive attitude of veratrum turns into violence.

🖊 Kind of obsessive patients having irrational fear of death with some degree of paranoia.

🖊  If we wants to understand veratrum the example could be Adolf Hitler, having his own ways with dogmatic attitude and all kind of insanity and felt that he has divine mission to lead and produce the super race.
