The reasons why people die by suicide are many and varied and in many cases it is difficult to ascertain a precise reason. We do know, however, that certain at-risk groups are more likely to attempt suicide and these include people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. The purpose of this document is to encourage discussion around these at-risk groups and to suggest ways that we can assist in reducing that risk.

Dr. Description: This paper was produced to aid both service users and their families in negotiating the best arrangement within the mental healthcare services. It considers a number of important elements: • An understanding and awareness of the effects of medication, and specifically how to engage with the prescriber, to ensure that one has full knowledge and understanding of not only the effects, but the side effects and consequences of taking medication. • The very significant issue of lifestyle. We know that many people with severe and enduring mental health problems may have many physical conditions, which are worrying to the individual and their family, and which can take their toll on one’s physical and mental health. • Many of these physical conditions can be alleviated by proper medical care, in combination with lifestyle changes and good self-management. • The paper also outlines the service user’s perspective and includes some useful hints to assist users when dealing with their mental healthcare services.
