What is the difference between risk factors and warning signs? Warning signs are abrupt changes in personality, the person might give away possessions and may have had a previous suicide attempt. When risk factors are problems with family school or even the law. It is also things like a breakup, or unexpected pregnancy.

Warning signs for depression: some warning signs for depression would be withdrawal from family or loved ones, constant boredom, carelessness,and talking about suicide. You should be careful/more sensitive to their feelings when interacting with someone who might have these symptoms you wouldn't want to accidentally push them to the point of suicide. Things that might seem small to you like a little insult could be catastrophic to their feelings people are more vulnerable when they are feeling down. But if the smallest insult can do so much damage then the smallest thing like compliment can can do the exact opposite.

Risk factors for signs of depression and suicide are fairly similar to warning signs but they do have their differences. Risk factors for depression and suicide seem to be more severe like loss of security feeling alone not talking to family friends they might be stressed out or worse they may have accidentally caused the death or seriously injured someone. If you know someone with these symptoms either Risk or Warning signs use the advice in paragraph 2.
