People with suicidal thoughts may not seek help because they feel they can't be helped. But that can be a medical condition that can be treated like depression or drug abuse. It's important to seek help and treatment when one notices suicidal thoughts. People considering suicide need encouragement not discouragement because they are often undecided about choosing life or death. Compassionate help, love and care from family, friends, church members or group, can help them choose to live.
