So something that I get asked a lot is how do you talk to someone who is suicidal?

我經常被問到的問題是，如何與有自殺傾向的人交談？

進階形容詞比較級句型

And I will usually relay the information from the National Alliance on Mental Illness as well as conversations with my own therapist on how you can be supportive, actively listen, and get your loved one help if necessary.

我通常會轉述全國精神疾病聯盟提供的資訊，以及我與自己的治療師的談話，告訴你如何給予支持、積極傾聽，並在必要時為你的親人尋求幫助。

And look, I know a lot of us have been there before and it's scary, right?

聽著，我知道我們很多人都經歷過這種情況，很可怕，對吧？

Like there is this misconception that exists that talking about suicide will increase the chances of a person to act on it.

就像有一種誤解存在，認為談論自殺會增加一個人採取行動的機會。

But don't worry because that is not true.

不過不用擔心，因為事實並非如此。

In fact, talking about suicide reduces the risk of suicidal ideation and the impulse to act on it.

事實上，談論自殺可以降低產生自殺念頭的風險和採取行動的衝動。

When we can give someone who's hurting the space to talk about that hurt, it will improve mental health-related outcomes and increase the likelihood that the person will seek treatment.

如果我們能為受到傷害的人提供傾訴的空間，就能改善與心理健康相關的結果，並增加他們尋求治療的可能性。

So if you think someone is suicidal, maybe they're saying things to you like, I can't take this anymore, or I don't wanna be here, or I don't see a future, the first thing you wanna do is start asking questions.

所以如果你認為某人有自殺傾向，也許他們會對你說「我受不了了」、「我不想待在這裡」、「我看不到未來」之類的話，你要做的第一件事就是開始問問題。

You wanna be direct and you wanna get frank assessment of where they're at.

你要直截了當，坦誠地評估他們的狀況。

And the way you can do this is you can start off with questions like, how are you doing?

這樣做的方法是，你可以先問一些問題，比如：你過得怎麼樣？

Have you ever thought of hurting yourself?

If the answer is yes to any of those, start following up.

如果答案是肯定的，就開始跟進。

Previous attempts make future attempts more likely.

以前的嘗試使未來的嘗試更有可能。

And anyone who's planning or acquiring means for self-harm are signs that they may be actively suicidal, which is what you wanna find out.

任何計劃或獲得自我傷害手段的人都有可能有自殺傾向，而這正是你想要發現的。

So you can ask questions like, have you tried to harm yourself before?

所以，你可以問一些問題，比如，你以前是否曾試圖傷害自己？

Have you ever attempted to take your own life?

Also get clarity on what might make you act on these thoughts?

同時還要弄清是什麼讓你產生了這些想法？

What holds you back from acting on these thoughts?

是什麼阻礙了你對這些想法採取行動？

Because the answers you get are the key to determining what support this person needs.

因為你得到的答案是決定這個人需要什麼支持的關鍵。

If they say that they're lonely and they need connection, that gives you a clear picture of how you can actually help.

如果他們說自己很孤獨，需要人與人之間的聯繫，這就能讓你清楚地知道自己到底能幫上什麼忙。

Now, once you've done this assessment of where they're at, find out how they're getting emotional support, if at all.

現在，一旦你對他們的狀況進行了評估，就應該瞭解他們是如何獲得情感支持的，如果有的話。

If they ever have a plan to hurt themselves, can we go to the hospital together?

如果他們打算傷害自己，我們能一起去醫院嗎？

萬一發生這種情況，你會給我打電話嗎？

Now, people who have died from suicide have often told someone about not wanting to live anymore.

現在，自殺身亡的人往往會告訴別人不想再活下去了。

So it's important that we have the tools to talk about this with our friends and family.

所以我們必須掌握與家人和朋友討論這個問題的工具。

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States.

The number of people who think about committing suicide or attempt it is even higher.

想自殺或企圖自殺的人數甚至更高。

So when people talk to me, and I can tell the suicidal ideation is really bad or that they're actively suicidal, I will often ask, do you have access to weapons that can be used to harm yourself?

當人們與我交談時，如果我能判斷出他們的自殺傾向非常嚴重，或者他們正積極地想要自殺，我通常會問，你是否能獲得可以用來傷害自己的武器？

This is especially important because one of the only proven ways to prevent suicide is to remove access to methods.

這一點尤為重要，因為預防自殺的唯一行之有效的方法之一就是消除獲得自殺方法的途徑。

So if someone is ideating and owns a firearm, taking precautions to remove that firearm for the duration of these thoughts can make a huge difference in their outcome, like literally life and death.

如果一個人有意念並擁有槍支，那麼採取預防措施，在意念持續期間移除槍支，會對其結果產生巨大影響，就像生與死一樣。

The act of suicide is often an attempt to control deep, painful emotions and thoughts that someone's experiencing.

自殺行為通常是試圖控制自己內心深處的痛苦情緒和想法。

But once those thoughts dissipate, so will the suicidal ideation.

但一旦這些想法消失，自殺念頭也會隨之消失。

While suicidal thoughts can return, they're not necessarily permanent or even a sign of a mental illness.

雖然自殺的念頭可能會再次出現，但這並不一定是永久性的，甚至也不是精神疾病的徵兆。

And look, I know it can be really scary when someone comes to you with suicidal ideation, but once you know how to handle it, once you have the tools, it's really not that hard to just show up, actively listen and help the person you love.

聽著，我知道當有人向你表達自殺意念時，你會感到非常害怕，但一旦你知道如何處理，一旦你掌握了工具，只要出現在他面前，積極傾聽並幫助你所愛的人，這其實並不難。

And once you have all that in place, it's so much less scary and you know how to be there and potentially save lives.

一旦你把這些都準備好了，就不會那麼害怕了，你就知道如何在那裡拯救生命。
