Are you contemplating suicide?
If you are contemplating suicide or have previously attempted to take your own life, it is important to share that information with someone – help is always available.
If you are contemplating suicide or have previously attempted to take your own life, you have access to help without charge at clinics affiliated with the health administration in the region in which you live. In addition, you may request help from a physician who may refer you to a psychologist.
Do you know someone who is contemplating suicide?
If another person tells you about contemplating suicide, always take it seriously.
Keep in mind that you are not alone, and that one way to help is to arrange for that person to get professional support.
Call 112 or 114 (police) if an emergency arises or if you are not sure what to do. It is better to ask for help once too often than to fail to ask that one last time.
Emergency assistance around the clock
If it is an emergency, call 112.
All health administration regions offer 24-hour emergency telephone assistance, out-of-hours medical helpline, and psychiatric emergency response service.
