Mental Health and Suicide: A message from the Lower Merion Township Health Advisory Council
Mental health issues are on the rise in the United States and suicide is a top leading cause of death. It is important to recognize the warning signs of suicide and to get help as soon as possible. Warning signs include things such as talking about wanting to die, talking about being a burden to others, and talking about feeling excessive shame or guilt. Other warning signs might include withdrawing from friends, displaying mood swings, using drugs or alcohol more frequently, or eating or sleeping more, or less, than usual. To get help for yourself or someone else, visit Mental Health Resources. Don’t wait.
