Overcoming suicidal ideation

Experiencing thoughts of ending your own life can be profoundly distressing and frightening. It's crucial to understand that these thoughts do not define you as a person but indicate that you are enduring significant emotional distress. The Mental Health Foundation reports that 1 in 5 adults in the UK have had suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives. Data from the Office for National Statistics shows that in 2022, the UK suicide rate was 10.5 per 100,000 people, with the rate for men at 16.1 and for women at 5.3, marking a slight increase from 2021. The highest suicide rates are seen in men aged 45-49, followed by those aged 50-54. Renowned consultant psychiatrist Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin explores effective strategies for managing suicidal thoughts, fostering hope, and preventing suicide.
