Warum begeht jemand Suizid?

Some topics we tend to push far away. Because they're uncomfortable. Because they're frightening. Suicide is one such topic. And although it happens every day, it's rarely discussed. According to estimates, roughly every minute, someone in Germany attempts suicide. Despite this, persistent myths remain: "Those who talk about it won't do it anyway." Or: "It's a free choice." But what actually happens? This video explores how suicide develops. Not as a sudden decision, but as a process: from initial thoughts and inner conflicts to that one moment when everything can tip. Why many affected individuals don't want to die, but primarily want to end their suffering. What that "tunnel vision" feeling, which many describe, feels like. And why outsiders often don't notice anything. It also addresses the question of how controlled or conscious such decisions truly are – and what research says about it. If you're uncomfortable with this topic, it's best to watch the video later or with someone else. You can find support services below.
