@article{ref1, title="Too strong? Barriers from getting support before a suicide attempt in Lithuania", journal="Death studies", year="2016", author="Dadašev, Said and Skruibis, Paulius and Gailiené, Danute and Latakienė, Jolanta and Grižas, Antanas", volume="40", number="8", pages="507-512", abstract="The study aimed to understand the tendencies of help seeking before a suicide attempt in Lithuania. An analysis of interviews with 21 Lithuanian adults demonstrated strong avoidance of seeking help. The main reasons for avoidance included a lack of trust in other people, thinking that one must solve problems independently without sharing them, avoiding troubling others, and a belief that showing genuine emotions is a sign of weakness. These findings may contribute to suicide prevention by more deeply understanding the barriers to help seeking among high suicide risk groups, particularly in countries with a traumatic historical experience.
