It is assumed top barriers that keep a loved one knowing about an individual’s suicidal thoughts are because the individual feels nothing will help them, there is a lack of hope, feelings of embarrassment, not knowing how to get help, feeling a lack of social support, fear of disappointing others, social stigma, and being unable to afford treatment or fear of losing his or her job [2].
