Unit 1: Why Did She Do That? The Question of Psychology — Final exam

Question 16 • Personal Psychology 1

What is the BEST way to respond if someone tells you they are thinking about ending their life?

Answer
A
“Everyone feels like that at some point. You just need to keep working until the bad feelings go away.”
B
“You’re not alone. Let’s figure out how you can get some help from a hotline or a doctor’s office. I care about you.”
C
“If you admit you might have a problem, then other people might treat you badly.”
D
“Stop being dramatic. You have a great life. Other people would love to have the life you have.”

Explanation

Respond with care, take the person seriously, and help them connect with support. Saying “You’re not alone” and offering to contact a hotline or doctor shows concern and helps them reach professional help. The other responses dismiss or shame the person, which can make it harder for them to seek help.
