(Flame Think, Inc. wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Dr. David Summers for sharing his hypothesis with us.)
Why do people commit suicide? Perhaps one can surmise some mechanical apparatus of the brain
suffered a gross malfunction. Imagine a group of neurons perhaps shorted out and communication with the axons and synapse got stuck in some kind of defective reverse function. Instead of working with other neural systems, the malfunction insist the mind take everything it perceives and reduces it to a land-fill of jumbled incoherent thought – nothing making any more sense than one could tell you of the origins of the broken pieces of wood, plastic, paper, and other discard of the human existence. This is in fact, what happens in severe paranoid schizophrenics.

 It is standard procedure for most businesses to conduct annual Suicide Awareness and Prevention classes. The traditional hour of blah...blah...blah most likely consisting of slides from years ago, and dusty manuscripts with stats from the 1970's. This is sad news, because now is the time updated quality training on this subject should happen. You may ask: Why? Short answer, because we are entering the traditional period when the greatest number of suicides occur in our nation. (Man on Stairs Image as found at StepsofDespair.jpg) For many years, it was believed the holiday seasons (mid November through mid January) were the time most suicides occur. National research (conducted over the last twenty-five years) have proved this to be erroneous. |

I am an advocate and trainer of Suicide Intervention Skills. I have trained over a thousand individuals in basic intervention skills. Many of my students, using these skills, have saved others who were “at risk” for suicide.
There is a significant difference between Suicide Prevention and Suicide Intervention and it is best understood by comparing it with the following analogy. |
