IN INDIA, ONE STUDENT COMMITS SUICIDE EVERY HOUR

In the three years since 2014, over 26,000 students killed themselves in India. The latest data shows one student commits suicide every 55 minutes. Maharashtra recorded the highest number for 2016, accounting for 14% of the total followed by West Bengal and Tamil Nadu.

Although there were no exact causes stated by the Ministry of Home Affairs but failure at examinations accounted for nearly a quarter of the cases.  Though, failure is not the only causse; forced career choices, fear of failure, poor education system and not speaking up, often push students towards this extreme step. 

A suicidal tendency student has symptoms such as:- Sadness, loss of interest, irregular and trouble sleeping and eating Avoiding social gatherings or having no friends Expressing views of being hopeless, helpless, or worthless Sudden, unexpected change of behaviours i.e. from  very sad to very calm or appearing to be happy Always talking or thinking about death or killing one's self or visiting or calling people to say goodbye with out any reason

Don't Make Education a Burden

Currently, there are less than 5,000 psychiatrists and only 2,000 clinical psychologists in a country of 1.3 billion. To overcome this huge gap there is a dire necessity to make other treatment modalities available and an association of efforts of parents/friends/teachers, is a needed step to face this challenge.

It is important that parents and teachers start making an effort to understand the abilities of their children and stop comparing them with others. To pressurizing and blaming for their poor performance is only going to add on to their misery. This will make them suffer in silence and force them to aloof themselves. Loneliness and stress combined together can lead them to attempt suicide. Think out-of-the-box and educate your children to live life not to die over marks.

For students, it is important to understand that suicide is not a solution. There is help available out there! There are counselors, psychologists and even special friends who are willing to help to cope the stress in student life.

As far as medical assistance is concerned, Homeopathy, is very vital to address this issue. A good homeopath goes into detailed information of ailed person and gathers all the physical, social, mental and psychological aspects and assesses the status of the person as to whether he is going to suicidal zone even though patient has approached for apparent physical illness like body pain or headache. Accordingly, homeopathic physician can counsel and manage the patient timely and proactively.
