World suicide prevention day September 10, 2013

Today September 10 is world suicide prevention day!

Every year, almost one million people die from suicide; a "global" mortality rate of 16 per 100,000, or one death every 40 seconds.

In the last 45 years suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide. Suicide is among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15-44 years in some countries, and the second leading cause of death in the 10-24 years age group; these figures do not include suicide attempts which are up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicide.

Suicide worldwide is estimated to represent 1.8% of the total global burden of disease in 1998, and 2.4% in countries with market and former socialist economies in 2020.

Although traditionally suicide rates have been highest among the male elderly, rates among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the group at highest risk in a third of countries, in both developed and developing countries.

Mental disorders (particularly depression and alcohol use disorders) are a major risk factor for suicide in Europe and North America; however, in Asian countries impulsiveness plays an important role. Suicide is complex with psychological, social, biological, cultural and environmental factors involved.

Changing the Behavior Matrix

Sigmund Freud theorized that all decision making is based on our desire to seek out pleasure, and avoid pain. As long as someone has a past experience with a hierarchical level above four on a scale of between one and ten, with ten being the most intense, then it will have an influence over the individual’s decisions. This creates a very limited lifestyle; avoidance of any sensory, emotional, or intensity similar to situations and/or circumstances that one is wishing to avoid any recall of, thus causing symptoms of depression, anxiety and/or suicidal ideation. With Nu-Rekall™ Zero Suicide Systems we take a segment of a person’s past and alter its hierarchy (intensity). It is only required to alter the hierarchy by two degrees at first, and then a natural degradation continues the process ending the segment of targeted memory in zero. The whole process takes a week, but as soon as the process is initiated the survival instinct is deactivated. Training c...

Why do people commit suicide?

Sara Leatherman in Iraq in 2006. A back injury forced her to leave the military in 2009. She also suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. Leatherman was 24 when she hanged herself in her grandmother’s shower in 2010. Why do People Commit Suicide? In the field of psychology there is currently a massive gap between what is being taught, applied and propagated, and the new solutions available for mental disorders. In order to see the answers you seek, you must first ask the right questions! Why is not as important as HOW! Built into the making of each and every human on the planet is an innate characteristic called the survival instinct, which has only one purpose, protect life! Or, keep you safe at all costs. The survival instinct has three hierarchical threat levels it has been programmed to be aware of; 1) the Soul, 2) the Body, and 3) the Mind. With the highest level of threat being, when the SOUL is in danger. There is only one way anyone ca...

How memories are made...?

MEMORY MAPPING, COMPONENTS, AND REMOVAL If we were to look at the mind and expose the energy signatures of stored memories it would look something like stars in the sky at midnight. Some memories are dim and barely visible while others shin bright and bold. Our focus naturally is drawn to the brightest, and they demand our full attention. What makes some memories brighter, more intense than others? Memories with higher levels of power consumption are based on the emotional intensity at the time of an experience! The greater the emotional level at the time of an experience the better our recall will be of the details of that experience. Sensory perception levels become acute recording even the smallest of details. Memory Memories are formed as a result of sensory perception and emotional attachments. (See figure C) The ability to recall a specific memory is determined by the intensity of the emotion attached to it. When a negative emotion is strong enou...
