JAKARTA Memories of today, eight years ago, July 25, 2017, Minister of Health (Menkes), Nila F. Moeloek emphasized to the public not to be silent when people have the potential to commit suicide. Nila appealed to them to contact emergency services via telephone 119.

Previously, suicide cases were increasingly rife in Indonesia. The problem of poverty to mental problems is the estuary. The weight of the burden triggers suicide a lot. Moreover, there are no friends to tell stories.

The death toll from suicide worldwide is not small. The World Health Organization, WHO confirmed that hundreds of thousands of people die from suicide each year. Indonesia also has its own figures. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) confirmed the suicide rate reached 812 cases in 2015.

This condition attracts the attention of many parties. Experts have their respective answers regarding the reasons for suicide. Poverty to mental problems are the most dominant. This deep pain made them unable to live. Their death is considered an answer.

Take, for example, a viral suicide by a man with the initials PI (30) in Jagakarsa, South Jakarta in May 2017. PI ended his life and broadcasted suicides live on his personal Facebook account. PI also had time to express disappointment with her household.

This condition proves that mental problems are the cause of PI suicide. The broadcast of PI's suicide then spread everywhere. The spread was regretted by many people. The narrative arose because they were afraid that other people who had similar mental problems were triggered by the same action.

"The most important thing that is of concern, right, this person is sick. It is unethical to spread it, don't let us be a group of people who have impulsive disorders. Because what's the difference is that we harass victims, while we have a fatal psychological disorder. . "

"You can't control yourself and then share it. It could be, if those who watch it are people who have psychological disorders, it can create a desire to do the same thing," he said, "said Clinical and Forensic Psychologist Kasandra Putranto as quoted on the coverage page 6.com, March 19, 2017.

People also think that PI's death should be preventable. Many think that PI has no story friends. If there were friends, PI would have been saved. However, because of the absence, it made PI's thoughts accumulate and he committed suicide.

The government was also asked to take seriously the high suicide rate. The government is asked to present an active emergency service for people with the potential for suicide. The goal is to be saved immediately.

The criticism reached the Nila F. Moeloek family on July 25, 2017. The Minister of Health emphasized to the public that do not remain silent when someone has the potential to commit suicide. They were asked to contact emergency services via telephone 119.

The counseling service is new. The Ministry of Health used to have counseling services via a 500-454 telephone line, but it was no longer active because there were few enthusiasts. Services at 119 are considered the best option for those around the potential for suicide. Later, it will be handled soon.

"We have 119, that's not only for accidents but also for (reports) for example you say 'This person tends to commit suicide', you (the public) can ask for help in 119. Our lifestyle may have changed again with a high level of stress. So don't get really sick, just enter consultation for mental," Nila said as quoted by the COMPAs.com page, July 25, 2017.
