The signs that alert us to a risk of suicide are diverse. On the one hand, any verbalization of a negative view of oneself. This translates into expressions such as:   "I'm worthless," "My life has no meaning." We should also be alert to changes in behavior that indicate a loss of interest in things we previously enjoyed doing.

Some of the most common warning signs are:

• Comments about how to kill oneself or plans to kill oneself or to harm oneself.
• Showing desperation or talking about having no way out, feelings of hopelessness and loneliness.
• To feel a deep pain that does not end and that makes you feel trapped.
• To express that one is a burden to others, that no one cares about oneself, that others would be better off without one...
• Consuming or increasing the consumption of substances such as drugs or alcohol.
• To have anxious or agitated behavior.
• Sleeping too much or too little.
• Abandoning relationships with family, friends, and other important relationships.
• Expressing extreme anger.
• Mood swings, sadness or irritability, demotivation, loss of interest.
• Social and family isolation.
