Warning Signs and Risk Factors

There is a difference between a warning sign and a risk factor to a threat. A warning sign would be a sign about something that could happen but there is enough time to stop it from happening. A risk factor is how someone might want to do something bad like suicide.

Warning signs of suicide could be that they are always talking about death, changing there will or calling people so they can say goodbye. Most signs are being depressed and also doing things that could kill them like running through traffic.

There are also plenty of risk factors to suicide. They could be people in their family tree could have committed suicide, having tried to commit it before, or keeping a weapon or firearm with them. They could also be abused at home or have mental differences.
