A suicide attempt is a self-injurious act committed with at least some intent to die. It is a medical emergency. Any action taken with the intent to end one’s life requires immediate intervention from emergency services.

If you or someone you know has made a suicide attempt, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:

• Self-inflicted, potentially lethal injuries.
• Extreme risk-taking behaviors with an indifference to survival.
• Any behavior performed with the intent to die.
