Teenage suicide, especially among young girls, is a major problem that our country is going through. We can only imagine what his family and children are going through and what are the circumstances that compel him to take such a step.
Increasing use of social media and growing distance between children and parents make their mental health even more severe. Suicide is such a delicate topic that even children can be discussed. Hence it becomes important that the parents and teachers look after the children and keep an eye on their activities. Ask for help from professionals if needed.
Certain symptoms and changes in children can trigger suicidal thoughts.

- Change in sleeping habits
- Frequent sadness
- Withdrawing from regular activities or not meeting friends and family
- Complaints about physical symptoms such as emotional pain, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, etc.

There are certain medications and drugs given to children that help prevent suicidal thoughts. But Anu worked in the psychiatric ward of Lady Harding’s Hospital as part of her MSW, seeing its effects. Medications are no solution to a child’s emotional pain and can leave disastrous consequences.
To find an appropriate solution to suicide in adolescence, Anu studied the natural and holistic approach that Anu personally gives to children in AAF to achieve a balance of mind. She believes in training young minds with positive affirmations leads to a healthy life.
