When I research about depression, I sometimes get the opinion that "I want to die" means "I want to live" as people with depression say. Hmmm, is it okay to say such a short circuit? Isn't it actually a dangerous word? I feel that. I think there are many people who are suffering from depression saying, "Is that so, I really want to die?" And, in fact, when my symptoms are terrible, "I don't! I want to die!" "so I thought.
What does "I want to die" mean "I want to live" in a depressed person?
Maybe it's depression that tries to survive by taking away the energy required for suicide when the mental state is about to die. I sometimes think that.
"Illness" is a condition in which some part of the body is upset or damaged, giving an unpleasant sensation such as "pain" or "suffering" to inform oneself and encourage treatment. Isn't it? In order to get rid of that "unpleasant sensation," I wonder if it is the instinct of living things that human beings, animals, and living things try to take some kind of "treatment" action.
If the feeling when you get sick is "pleasure", you don't want to get rid of that feeling, but rather you want to be pleasant all the time, and then the illness gets worse and you will probably die at worst.
I think that the illness of depression may cause the feeling of "I want to die", but on the contrary, the situation where I have to feel the feeling of "I want to die" (excessive stress in the work environment and the resulting mental exhaustion). However, there are many cases where it causes a disease called depression. I think. The interaction between suicidal ideation and depression that causes each other's condition will lead to further rumination and vicious circles that will lead to the bottom of depression. In other words, getting depressed is a confusing expression of "a reaction to avoid the risk of'death'induced by a mental or mental illness that makes you want to die." To put it simply, it can be said that depression is an illness that tries to live. So it may be the argument that "I want to die" → "depression" = "I want to live" . However, even so, even if you skip the theory and simply say "I want to die" that a depressed person says "I want to live" , I think as a person in the midst of depression. I think that my strength is weakening, and on the contrary, it may cause my emotions to be reversed.
"I want to die" as a depressed person means "I want to die"
If you look at the illness called depression, you can reasonably say that "depression is a illness that you want to live in," as in the previous theory.
Well, I think it's natural that there are objections and objections, and although I wrote it myself, there are some feelings that are not surprising.
However, even if the illness of depression is so, just because a person with depression says "I want to die", people around me say "I want to live", so I can't really die. " It is very dangerous to think about it. it's dangerous!
Even people with depression commit suicide if they want to die.
According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 12145 people had "health problems" as the cause of suicide in 2015, and 5080 people had "depression" as the cause. Since the total number of suicides in 2015 was 24025, about 21% of the suicides suffered from depression and committed suicide . There are many people who have actually committed suicide, so I can't say that "depression doesn't kill you", and it doesn't mean that the illness of depression puts a brake on suicide.
Even if it is another cause of suicide, it is possible that there may be depressive symptoms just before the suicide, and the other day, Jun Nagura, a laughing entertainer trio Neptune, was suspended for treatment of depression. I heard that the cause is stress caused by pain after herniated disk surgery, and I learned that depression may occur due to other illnesses and injuries.
So, isn't depression or depressive symptoms involved in one of the causes of suicide? I can't think of it. Also, like a habit, I start to mutter "I want to die, I want to die", so it becomes a self-suggestion, and I realize from the actual experience that the feeling of wanting to die grows steadily. I will. So, don't just believe in the words "I want to die" that people with depression say "I want to live" and don't just say "I can't die anyway? Hahaha". give me. When you die, you die, seriously. Therefore, family members, relatives, and people with close relationships should watch over people with depression thinking that they may commit suicide.
