Refugees across the globe experience a large number of suicides every day that are beyond comprehension, due to the economic, social, security and living conditions in most of the areas of their presence. This includes a large population of children. There has been a dramatic increase in suicides in recent years.
When a person is thinking about or planning suicide, there are several factors that indicate it. These warning signs can be used to monitor suspicious people and to determine whether they are at risk of suicide. There are some warning signs that should be seen very clearly in those who are planning suicide. Although some of these signs may be difficult to distinguish, it is still possible.
An important factor indicating a potential suicide is a major change in mood or appearance as well as behavioral changes, such as showing feelings of despair in one’s life and a sense of meaninglessness. Surrender is usually expressed in the form of living without any goals or plans for the future.
There are still some factors that affect refugees, such as feeling unwelcome at the place where they live or the fear of being removed from that place to their mother country. It is also possible for them to feel lonely and separated from loved ones, and to feel insecure and worthless in society, feeling despair because of the challenges of their life as refugees, suffering twice as much as their peers when looking for work or any opportunity they like.
Indications of the desire to commit suicide is distance and cut off from friends, society or even family, as the person’s mood becomes volatile all the time, talking about death and moving to the afterlife, and one of the last and most important signs is that we may see some manifestations of violence against the body of people because of Attempts to get rid of their lives through some methods. Such as searching on the Internet for ways to commit suicide. So the environment surrounding that person, when feeling this, should try to stay away from any conversations about death or resentment of life.
If you observe any of these factors on a person or friend, it must come as a signal that this person is on the verge of committing suicide, and we must not wait for all these factors and indicators to appear on the person, but we should take this seriously. Keeping in touch with these people and talking to them regularly is a good idea.
There are a number of factors that may contribute to suicide, but they are insufficient to explain its cause. The reasons may be cultural, personal, psychological, social, environmental, or biological. When multiple factors interact with each other, this may exacerbate the situation to be a great motivation to commit suicide.
Suicide may not be a result of any one of these factors when they accumulate at once, but when several factors come together at once, it is very likely that suicidal thoughts will appear, which will become actual behaviors. Unless they receive extensive treatment before they cross the stamina threshold, their level of disappointment will rise within their lives.
World Health Organization reports showed that suicide rates in northwest Syria in 2020 ranged between 21 and 31 years of age, followed by 31 to 40 years of age, where one of the most common methods was drinking pesticides and taking excessive doses of drugs or drugs and jumping from tall buildings.
Let’s all be aware of what suicides among refugees are and begin this day to raise awareness. International Day for Suicide Prevention, which takes place every year on September 10, has been celebrated around the world to provide commitment and action for suicide prevention.
