One of the fascinating psychotic disorders discussed in the medical literature is Cotard’s syndrome. It is an uncommon disorder, typically recuperable, where the principal manifestation is the “delusion of non-existence.” Unfortunately, based on the researchers David Cohen and Angele Consoli of the Universite Pierre and Marie Curie, Many patients suffering from Cotard’s Syndrome are entirely convinced that they’re already dead with no most minor doubts.
Recent evidence suggests that Cotard’s can be a neuropsychiatric consequence in people taking aciclovir or valaciclovir for herpes. They also suffer from kidney disease. However, its roots go far back than current drugs. The first time it was mentioned was by French neuroscientist Jules Cotard in the 1880s and is often associated with a severe illness, like schizophrenia, central depression, epilepsy, general paralysis, not to mention the gruesome faces when looking in the mirror. Take the example of a young woman, as described in the book by Cohen and Consoli “The belief was that the sufferer had a total belief that she was dead and was waiting to be buried and that she was without hair or teeth, and the uterus of her was malformed.” What a shame! That image wouldn’t have been positive for her self-esteem.

Do I have to keep an eye on suicide?
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among teens. Knowing why is a great way to care for the person you love dearly.
A suicidal individual is suffering from pain and is determined to make the pain disappear. Emotional or mental stress makes it difficult to concentrate.
Recent studies have shown that the portion of the brain responsible for limiting risks isn’t fully developed until 25. This means that teenagers tend to make impulsive decisions and commit suicide without thinking about the consequences.

Conclusion
Violent suicide methods, including hanging, are linked with a significantly increased risk of suicide in males and warrant exceptional healthcare and public health consideration. The initial risk factors related to choosing between the violent or non-violent suicide method are interconnected. Other detailed factors closely related in time to suicide attempts, such as the availability of a particular way, could be a factor in deciding to use a specific method.
