“Suicides are preventable, and numerous interventions from the individual to the societal level can help reduce the suicide rate” (Jacobsen, 2019). One thing to help depression is to have access to clinical mental health care. It is a great opportunity for people to be able to talk through their thoughts and feelings with someone who is willing to listen and someone who is able to help. Another thing would be community-based support like hotlines. Those who are having immediate thoughts or need someone immediately to talk to can call a hotline and talk through what they are feeling. There is also medicine and sometimes, if it is extreme, hospital stays to help with mental health issues. "It is crucial to address the needs of adolescents with mental health conditions" (CDC, 2021).
