Between 1999 and 2019, the suicide death rate increased 33%. There were more than 47,500 deaths by suicide in 2019, making it the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, that same year, 12 million adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.5 million made a plan, and 1.4 million attempted suicide.Deaths by suicide among older adults are underreported. Older adults may exhibit passive self-harm behaviors that may result in death, such as refusing food, medications, or liquids, which are rarely recorded as suicide attempts or deaths by suicide. Recorded suicide attempts among older adults are usually more lethal than those among younger age groups Risk factors for suicide among older adults include mental illness, depression, previous suicide attempts, substance use problems, chronic pain, physical illness, declining function, disability, family discord or loss, family history of suicide and social isolation .Dementia and other forms of impaired cognitive ability have also been linked with suicidal behavior in older adults.With COVID-19 Delta variant numbers increasing, your residents/patients may start to feel afraid, hopeless, and despair. Please keep your eyes out for the following symptoms and know that we have continued to require a negative COVID test for admission and continued our protocol in order to keep our patients safe.Warning Signs of Depression: Loss of interest in things or activities that are usually found enjoyable Cutting back social interaction, self-care, and grooming Isolation Breaking medical regimens (such as going off diets, prescriptions) Experiencing or expecting a significant personal loss (spouse or other) Feeling hopeless and/or worthless Putting affairs in order, giving things away, or making changes in wills Stock-piling medication or obtaining other lethal means Other clues are a preoccupation with death or a lack of concern about personal safety. Remarks such as "This is the last time that you'll see me" or "I won't be needing anymore appointments" should raise concern. The most significant indicator is an expression of suicidal intent.At Park Royal Hospital we take Mental Health Awareness very seriously.

Treatment for Prescription Drug Addiction at Park RoyalMost individuals who go to the doctor for medication take their medication as directed, in the amount prescribed, at the frequency intended, and only for the duration of treatment. These individuals then stop their medication as directed and go on with their lives.

This is called prescription drug abuse and each day, more and more people succumb to this.Not only is this a dangerous habit, it can lead to a much bigger problem addiction to prescription medications. There are three types of drugs that are most frequently abused. Narcotic painkillers, such as OxyContin, Vicodin, and codeine are used to manage moderate-to-severe pain in some individuals produce analgesic effects as well as a blissful state of well-being for the user. Stimulants such as Adderall and Ritalin are prescribed to individuals with ADHD or narcolepsy and for individuals who do not have these disorders, produce feelings of extreme energy and excitement.
