study harder for an exam, keep focused on an
important speech. In general, it helps one cope.

irrational dread of everyday situations, it has
become a disabling disorder.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an

"rituals," however, provides only temporary
relief, and not performing them markedly
increases anxiety.

Suicide
Prevention
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
has many resources available to you to learn and
prevent suicide.
More than 32,000 people in the United States die
by suicide every year. It is this country's 11th
leading cause of death, and is often
characterized as a response to a single event or
set of circumstances. However, unlike these
popular conceptions, suicide is a much more
involved phenomenon. The factors that contribute
to any particular suicide are diverse and
complex, so our efforts to understand it must
incorporate many approaches. The clinical,
neurobiological, legal and psychosocial aspects
of suicide are some of the major lines of
inquiry into suicide -- here, we present some
information from each of these perspectives.
