What Signs are There
That Someone May 'SNAP'?

In addition to the screening test, there are symptoms that should never be ignored. Stress at home, work, entertainment, information media, and play is causing more reports of people "cracking," or mentally "breaking down," than ever before. The problem is leading to a staggering amount of murders, suicides, road rage, family abuse, drug abuse, unhappiness and much more. Combined with stress, many of the diagnoses discussed in "Biological Unhappiness" can cause even good people to lose control.

SIGNS:

• Writing death poems
• Obsessing about death and/or violence
• Deliberately injuring or mutilating the body
• Pulling out hair
• Road rage
• "Freaking out" over minor stress
• Substance abuse
• Punching walls
• Hatred, particularly of groups
• "Can't stand" to be around happy people
• Believing that happy, loving people are "wrong" or "misguided"
• Deja vu
• Things seeming unreal
• The sensation of "looking through someone else's eyes"

NEVER IGNORE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS:

• I'm ready to kill someone.
• I'm going to kill myself.
• I'm looking forward to death.
• I don't want to live.
• Life has no purpose.
• What's the point in even trying?
• I'm worthless.
• Everybody seems to have it in for me?
• Others would be better off if I was dead.
• The world is so bad I don't want my children to live in it.
