independent journalist about rising number of suicides In today's Azerbaijan Dear Readers! Below we offer you another story of an independent journalist Jana Madatov of its cycle about the social problems of today's Azerbaijan. At this time we talking about the alarming rise in suicides in the modern Azerbaijani society.
FRUITS OF THE VICIOUS CIRCLE
society and Suicide written with one and the same letters
January 24 Elmurad Efendiev, born in 1991, could not resist pressing social problems and hanged in the attic of his house. One of the reasons suicide identified in a suicide note Elmurada, was a failure in entrance examinations to higher education. It happened in the village Kerimli Oguz district.
January 26 in the village in Ganja settlement Gulustan forced migrant from Kalbajar region, the 18-year-old Adil Jafarly hanged on the horizontal bar in the schoolyard.
18 January in the village Zabrat Sabunchi district 21-year-old Asker Huseynzadeh hanged on an iron pipe in the old kindergarten ....
Unfortunately, suicides do not often leave suicide explanation, which puts explain everything. And sometimes without notes is clear.
Most cases of suicides are excited by the 125 th article of the Criminal Code - incitement to suicide, or is it simply shut down, because suicide has a mental disorder. But often the cause of suicide is unknown. Delve into the souls of relatives dead (or dead) is not accepted, and closed the men killed by his own grief, and they are no longer the case, was whether a person mentally ill or not. Importantly, that suicide is not retrieved. But worst of all, that suicide is "younger".
A World Health Organization statistics alarming: annually in the world for more than one million people commit suicide. But by 2020 this figure will reach nearly half a million facts in the year. On Today countries' leaders - Sweden and Hungary. In Azerbaijan suicide makes 1%, that is, we - at the very last place.
On the other hand, in a little hard to believe: the official statistics count of suicides in Azerbaijan do not have, and the local media are full of daily reports of suicide. What pushes these accidents in the box in the loop on the barrel of a rifle?
VIEWS
- Timely treatment to a specialist - One way to solve the problem - says Giray Geraybeyli, chief psychiatrist of Azerbaijan.
- It's no secret that in the more developed countries, a psychotherapist, psychologist, psychoanalyst are like family members. And weekly trips to these specialists, who may listen, and analyze the patient's condition - very much needed. And no one is surprised when pronounced sentence: "Today I'm going to the session to his psychiatrist." It is as natural as "I'm going to a fitness club" or "I'm going to the dentist." We have the opposite: to go to a psychiatrist for advice, and indeed all which is related to psychiatry, few people actively stigmatized (labeled as) a "closed" issue. People are afraid: what if the surrounding think that I - crazy? And I as a physician, almost every day I hear the phrase: "Doctor, no one will know that I come here?".
The fact that this happens, blame the society itself to blame for all of us. If a man in time does not refer to a psychiatrist, this leads to worsening depression, which eventually takes the chronic form. And all this leads to very serious consequences, including - and to suicide. As for accounting for such patients: if a person is registered by a psychiatrist, was examined, or he would be willing to in connection with the pathology to be registered, the law it is not fraught with any consequences. Another thing, if it is not due, and the subjective factors: that is, if you are registered, I do not I'll give you for my daughter, "I will not take you for a job." It is not required by law, this - society. And in making such decisions is difficult for someone to blame.
- Suicide - a kind way of expressing protest - said psychologist Elvira Hajiyev.
- spontaneous suicide almost does not happen. Suicide - a voluntary renunciation of life, and a man comes to this decision consciously. Teenage suicide is the same - it's not just an attempt to deprive own life, namely, protest, and, above all, against the wishes of parents, teachers, mentors.
There suicides for "political reasons" when, say, a person exposes himself to self-immolation. This is a protest against the state government authorities.
Remember the case of suicide, which occurred In September last year, when the Binagadi district hanged 15-year-old Farid Nabizade? And pushed him to this terrible act is someone else's blood pressure. A Farid wanted to prove that his bare hands will not get. Unfortunately, many teens think suicide is courageous act, direct evidence to the contrary.
In many ways, of course, blame the parents. Nobody knows what they are, these parents and what they understand by the word "love", under the concept of "education" if they have a general understanding with the child and respect for him? I am sure that even if an understanding is, it is too superficial: the child is fed, shod, on the head not dripping - that's all. It's - life. And for this life of parents often forget that a child - personality, personality, and he has a soul, often suffering, has a history. And, using, for this opportunity, I would like to ask the parents of those children who have moved "to nowhere": what you did to your child still alive? I really hope that after reading this interview, not only they but also all those who can not find extra minute to communicate with children, to think seriously.
INTERNATIONAL FIGHT AGAINST Suicide
in the world today exists and is popular International Association for Suicide Prevention, on which recommendations in many cities around the world and our country were created by warning service suicides. This new organizational form of anonymous medical and psycho-social assistance to people in need of expert advice or medication treatment.
services such as staffed by volunteers and professionals-therapists. The main advantage of the service lies in the fact that its basic units are not autonomous, but integrated into the system. Subdivisions - helpline, studies of social and psychological assistance, crisis hospitals - have continuity communications and coordinating center.
main link in the prevention of suicide an anonymous phone service (helpline), which was founded in 1953 in London priest Chad Vara and began to spread rapidly in all countries of Europe and America. The purpose of the telephone service - the desire to invite any person in a crisis situation and contemplates suicide, telephone contact with staff who are ready to listen to him as a friend that can help the subscriber to overcome the crisis situation with which he faced. Among the principles of service occupies a special place confidence, absolute privacy, the prohibition to require compensation for services and the prohibition of any provision pressure. The principles of personnel services - not to judge, not to criticize or even surprised, but to help subscribers to come to the right decision. The population is widely informed about the availability of telephone hotlines, but suicide is not mentioned, it is reported only that is "helping in distress, hopelessness and depression. "
In Azerbaijan, there is no such associations, but few staff crisis centers accounts on the fly to deal with such calls. They are all very hopeful that someday this association appears in our country. In each Crisis Center has a hotline, but still not enough specialists and facilities to expand the scope of psychologists and implementation of those or other programs, not enough volunteers.
PS psychiatrists and psychologists believe that the financial crisis may cause the vicious circle where poverty and lack of access to health care leads to poor health, including mental. Among the poor, say experts, mental disorders occur twice as often. In addition, the financial crisis has a negative connotation and stressful situation in people who only yesterday were middle class, and today many have lost. And there are those who have lost the most important thing: faith and hope. And the increasingly scary press reports about people shagnuvshih "to nowhere" - a fruit that we are reaping. Fruits of the vicious circle - the poverty, inaccessibility of health assistance, lack of spirituality and the loss of all human values.
