Which is not a risk factor for suicide?

Question

being influenced by the suicides of others

having a family history of suicide

feeling happy and elated

attempting suicide previously

Answer 1

Feeling happy and elated is not considered a risk factor for suicide. In fact, people who are experiencing a sense of happiness or elation may not be in a suicidal mindset. In contrast, the other options—being influenced by the suicides of others, having a family history of suicide, and previously attempting suicide—are known risk factors for suicide.
