Is it normal for an 8yr old child to think suicide?

Question

my daughter is 8 and she wants to die. She tries to choke herself to death whenever she gets mad. She also gets angry quickly over little stuff. She tells me she sees things and hears voices. What should i do what is this condition?

Answer 1

It is not normal.  You need to stop asking questions here and immediately if not sooner, seek professional help.  It is not normal for anyone to to want to choke him/herself. She needs help NOW.  She may just need some medication to help her, or she may need some counseling.   Don't hesitate- you don't want anything to happen to her, do you? Didn't think so.

Answer 2

No, this is not normal. It's not normal for anyone of any age to really consider suicide. She need medical attention as soon as possible, starting with her pediatrician. He/she will refer her to a child psychologist and get her the necessary care.  

Answer 3

Please by all means get her help and do it now.

Answer 4

NO , you need to get her into a doctors office and to see a therapist. This is serious.

Answer 5

I don't know what the condition is, but i think she's overdue to see her pediatrician... she needs help pronto.  

no it's not normal at all.

Answer 6

this is something serious,well, are u two compatible? it could be a bad mother, daughter relationship. do u think u are teaching and educating your daughter in the right way?  is it  that u need to change something in your way with your daughter? every child is born with a different personalty and we as adults need to understand that and understand them, before it s to late. put yourself in your daughters mind. perhaps she needs someone that understands her and what she wants. You need to change that quick! because, its so dangerous! when she gets older, it can become worse. she will became rebellious, and will do what she pleases. i suggest that you and your family go to a type of family psychologist guickly.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It's not normal for a child of any age to think about suicide.  You should be taking her to the Doctor as soon as possible.. sounds like she needs help.  Good Luck
