Su***de risk is often linked to a combination of factors, not just one. As healthcare professionals, being aware of these can help you identify when someone may need support.
Common risk factors include:
• Ongoing stress, burnout, or emotional exhaustion
• Mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety
• Substance use or dependency
• Recent loss, trauma, or major life changes
• Feelings of isolation or lack of support
Recognising these risk factors early allows you to respond with care and compassion, and possibly save a life. 💙
