Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. and accounts for around 30,000 deaths each year. Over 90% of those who commit suicide have depression or another mental or substance abuse condition. According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), about 4.3% of adults who were 18 years and older had thoughts about committing suicide. And since 1999, more than half of the states in the U.S. reported a 30% increase in suicide cases.

At Valley Cares we see two main types of suicidal ideation, passive and active. Passive suicidal ideation happens when an individual has thoughts of wanting to die, or wishes for it, but makes no actual plans or commits any dangerous actions. Active suicidal ideation is when those passive thoughts become actions, this means an individual has the intent or is planning on committing suicide. Don’t let your thoughts be plagued by suicidal ideation. We at Valley Cares are here to help and support you. Contact us today if you experience suicidal ideation.
