“Because if you comfortably use the term ‘suicide,’ it can also convey that you are in a better position to address it later on,” he said. Naguit later told students who are uncomfortable or unsure if they are dealing with someone who is in distress: “You best to consult a professional, refer them.”A Global Burden Distress Study in 2015 showed that for every 100,000 Filipinos, the suicide rates are 1.9 for females, 5.8 for males, and 3.8 for both sexes.“You need to ask for the method, for the time, and the possible place where the attempt would be done,” he said.
And either it was made in a serious tone or light-hearted manner, Naguit said that all pronouncement of suicide “must be taken seriously.” “Even if it’s said in jest, because sometimes they usually joke about it,” the mental health advocate said.
