A new study of () revealed that stigma in this conservative region has a very negative impact on physical and mental health. In fact, 50 percent of respondents had serious thoughts of suicide in their lives, but not as young men. According to researcher Dr. Jay Irvin, the number of high in the general population:

IRWIN: We already know that suicide attempts among LGBT youth is nearly three times more likely than their heterosexual counterparts, but nearly 50 percent of respondents indicate a serious thought about suicide is quite high, even in light of other studies of populations of LGBT. [... ] 

We have found people who seriously considered suicide in the age of 20, again in the 40s and then again in the 60s. Transgender persons were more likely to report suicidal thoughts. The study also confirmed other effects of social stigma, such as increased smoking. In Nebraska, 26 percent of the population of LGBT smokers compared with 20 percent of the total population. Nevertheless, about 75 percent of respondents believe their health as excellent or very good. Another research study by Dr. Christopher Fischer notes that research on the LGBT community in the Midwest is not enough and some unique problems may be in the game are:

What little research has been with the LGBT population occurred mainly in large cities and the coast. Nevertheless, the problems faced by LGBT people in New York or Los Angeles, other than in the rural West.  

Isolation, stigma and lack of social outlets experience, still need to be addressed. We hope that this report will help community organizations the necessary information to improve the health and welfare of the people they serve. Proven time in this study is the fact that the ability to be very important for a healthy lifestyle. As well as helping people out

, and also reduces the internal stigma, which leads to numerous health risks. Only the fight against the stigmatization of the LGBT community in the communitys health differences can never be overcome. .

depression and lack of social support appear to accelerate suicidal thoughts and behavior in some students, according to research from Johns Hopkins ChildrenBЂ ™ s Centre, University of Maryland and other institutions. In a study published in, and then over a thousand students across their college years, the identification of factors associated with suicidal thoughts and highlighting the discovery of high-risk students at an early stage and refer them for treatment. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college-age students in the United States, about 1,100 deaths from suicide occur in this age group each year. These data come from the NIH-funded study of student life, in which researchers conducted in-depth face-to-face interviews with more incoming freshmen thanb thousands in large public universities in the mid-Atlantic and annual follow-up interviews throughout their four years in college. The researchers conducted an in-depth face-to-face interviews with more than a thousand incoming freshmen college at the University of Maryland College Park and the subsequent annual interviews throughout their four years in college. Of the 1085 students, 151 (12 percent) said they thought of suicide at least once, 37 of whom (24. 5 percent) said they did it repeatedly. Ten of the 151 said they had made concrete plans or performed a full-fledged attempt at college. Two out of 10 said they had tried to commit suicide, do not plan to do so. Of the 151, 17 students reported attempting suicide to college, and 22 reported plans to commit suicide before college, but do not try it. BЂњOur results are pretty grim, but a blessing in disguise because weBЂ ™ ve identified risk factors that can be used to identify students and to help us identify people at risk and refer them for further diagnosis or treatment BЂ, "says lead researcher used a psychiatric epidemiologist at Hopkins ChildrenBЂ ™ s. Among these factors, Wilcox said, the lack of social support BЂ "is described as feeling misunderstood, unloved, and strangers to the family and friends BЂ" became one of the most powerful predictors of persistent suicidal thoughts, even in the absence of other risk factors. b Other risk factors included symptoms of depression, the impact of domestic violence as a child and the mother suffers from depression, which made students more likely to ponder suicide. Family risk markers, such as the presence of the mother suffers from depression and became an important factor not only in suicidal thoughts, but also in the plans of suicide and suicide attempts. Indeed, eight of the 10 students who planned or attempted suicide reported that depressed mothers. The risk of serious mental illness during the peak of late adolescence and early adulthood, especially during the transition from home life to the partial independence, researchers say. Being away from oneBЂ ™ with friends and family, combined with the stress of new social and academic pressures can exacerbate depression and anxiety, and some may become the proverbial last straw that provokes suicidal behavior, the researchers say. Few to his surprise, the researchers say they have found that students who reported thinking about suicide often have no more than attempts of those who did it only once. This finding suggests that psychiatrists can not assume that those who think about suicide more often at higher risk or those who have a suicidal thought is always safer than those who contemplate suicide more than once. Ideally, all incoming freshmen must be screened for risk factors, with a brief questionnaire during their first semester in college and during subsequent visits to the University Health Center. "College campuses are the ideal solution for the prevention of suicide, because the audience of students, so universities should take advantage of this by creating easy access to mental health services during this critical period of development of young adults," said senior investigator Amelia Arria, PhD . ., An epidemiologist at the University of Maryland Center for Health and Young Adult Development. Co-researchers on the study includedb Calderia Kimberly and Katherine Vincent of the University of Maryland School of Public Health, Gillian Pinchevsky, University of South Carolina, and Kevin Grady OBЂ ™, University of Maryland, College Park. The study was funded by the National Institute of Health and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. .

Every 15 minutes someone in the United States die from suicide. But from state to state, there are large differences in suicidal thoughts and behaviors used according to a report released Oct. 20 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Serious thoughts of suicide in the range of from about 1 in 50 adults in Georgia (2. 1 percent) to 1 in 15 in Utah (6. 8 percent). For suicide attempts, ranging from 1 in 1,000 adults in Delaware and Georgia (0. 1 percent) to 1 in 67 in Rhode Island (1. 5 percent). This report is the first to provide state level data on suicidal thoughts and behavior among adults in the United States, according to CDC officials. BЂњSuicide is a tragedy for individuals, families and communities. The report highlights that we have the opportunity to intervene before someone dies from suicide. We can identify risks and take action before the suicide attempt occurs BЂ, "said Thomas M. Frieden, MD, director of the CDC. BЂњMost people uncomfortable talking about suicide, but this veil of secrecy is not an issue. We must work together to raise awareness about suicide and learn more about the events that work to prevent this public health problem. BЂ «

CDC and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) officials have studied data from a national survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) from 2008-2009. BЂњSuicide prevent this tragedy, BЂ "said SAMHSA Administrator Pam Hyde. BЂњWith these new data, we can work more effectively to reach people at risk, and help keep them safe. For those in need, help is always available by phone 800-273-TALK/8255. BЂ ">> << A 2. 2 million adults (1. 0 percent of the adult population) reported the establishment of plans for suicide in the past year, starting with 0. 1 percent in Georgia 2. 8 percent in Rhode Island. More than 1 million adults (0. 5 percent of adults) reported suicide attempt last year, starting with 0. 1 percent in Delaware and Georgia to 1. 5 percent in Rhode Island. The prevalence of serious suicidal thoughts, suicide planning and suicide attempts was significantly higher among young people aged 18-29 years than among adults aged 30 years or older. The prevalence of serious suicidal thoughts was significantly higher among women than among men. Suicide has always been higher in Western countries, especially in the Rocky Mountain states. In this report, which looks at the behavior of non-fatal, the picture was mixed: Adults in the Midwest and West are likely to have thoughts of suicide than those in the north-east and south. Adults in the Midwest are likely to have made suicide plans than those in the south, and suicide attempts did not vary by region. BЂњMultiple risk factors for suicidal behavior. The changes noted in the report may reflect differences in the frequency of risk factors and socio-cultural and economic composition of the study population, BЂ "said Linda C. Degutis, Dr. PH, MSN, director of the National Center for CDCBЂІs for Injury Prevention and Control. BЂњThese differences may influence the types of prevention strategies used by communities and groups are included. BЂ "

A new study emphasizes the importance of the collection and use of local information for prevention purposes, officials note, CDC. Further follow-up required to develop, implement and evaluate health policies and programs that can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with suicide-related thoughts and behavior. Possible strategies for suicide prevention include those that are designed for a wide audience, such as education campaigns aimed at improving the recognition of suicide risk, as well as more intensive strategies (eg,

), for those who are most at risk, such as people who have made suicide attempts. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive part helps people change thinking patterns and behavioral part of helping people change how they react to situations. Source:.
