Suicide Prevention
- posted: Nov. 25, 2024
It's easy to think a temporary problem that doesn't seem to have any winning outcome will determine the entire future. The presence of mental health issues only exasperates the number of suicides. At Mindful Momentum Counseling, serving the entire state of Texas through telehealth visits, Candice Smith, a licensed professional counselor, wants people to know they're not alone and offers services for suicide prevention.
Understanding Suicide
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 49,000 people died by suicide in the U.S. in 2022 alone. This is a sobering statistic considering many of those may have been prevented by the person seeking and receiving treatment.
Depression, psychosis, anxiety, and other mental disorders are often part of the equation. Sometimes, the person is suffering through financial troubles, substance abuse issues, divorce, or other situations that lead them to act impulsively or feel overwhelmed.
Getting Help Can Save Your Life
Whether you're suffering from a mental health concern or a bad situation, getting the help you need can make negative thoughts more manageable.
The issues you're facing today don't have to depict the future. Through therapy, you can take control and begin living a happier, more fulfilling life.
What Suicide Prevention Entails
Serving Texas through telehealth, Candice Smith is trained to understand the complexities associated with various mental health issues and assists clients in reframing how they think about themselves and their circumstances. Working through any imminent problems is often an essential part of the process.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a commonly used therapy, beneficial to those with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. It can also be used to help if you're suffering from a temporary problem that's weighing heavily on your mind. Through this therapy, you learn to challenge unhelpful thoughts or behaviors and replace them with positive ones that are less stressful on you mentally. You'll train yourself to break out of the mindset that everything is black and white or a hit or miss.
With this particular therapy, you also learn coping strategies and problem-solving skills to reduce anxiety and depression. You'll become more optimistic and see ways to overcome obstacles.
Additional treatments include mindfulness techniques, which can better regulate your moods, while eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) helps make traumatic memories less painful and reduces flashbacks.
There's hope! Candice Smith of Mindful Momentum Counseling offers online visits for those in Texas to help with suicide prevention, including for those with mental health challenges.
