Suicidal thoughts, acts indicate severe depression, which can be very well treated with medications. Chronic medical illnesses can produce this kind of depression. Consult a psychiatrist immediately, it s a psychiatric emergency. A course of antidepressants will help in speedy recovery of your dad. All the best.

Thanks for your query. Death is something that is inevitable for all of us. But we have to remember that comitting suicide is not the end of our problems. We have to prepare for death just like we prepare for an evaluation. Encourage your father to focus on afterlife and how he can put efforts on being success ful in the consequences after death. Having good thoughts, reading good books, good helping behaviour towards self and others, trying to do as much good and trying to be as much good, even in small gestures creates a positive notion about life before death and after it. What he needs is counselling. For more details contact me in private section. Thanks.
