I delve into the psychology of suicidal thinking, discussing the alarming statistics surrounding suicide and the often-taboo nature of the topic. I explore the emotions of entrapment and defeat that can lead to suicidal ideation, the impact of loneliness, and the concept of psychache as a profound psychological pain. I also highlight the brain changes associated with suicidal thoughts and emphasizes the importance of protective factors, coping strategies, and support networks in preventing suicide.
