Which of these is a behavioral warning sign of suicide?

  1. Improved personal appearance

  2. Giving away belongings

  3. Tolerating praise and rewards very well

  4. Interest in all activities

The correct answer is: Giving away belongings

Giving away belongings can be a behavioral warning sign of suicide because it can indicate that a person may be preparing to end their life and no longer has a need for their possessions. Improved personal appearance and interest in all activities are not necessarily warning signs of suicide, as they could indicate a positive improvement in mood. Tolerating praise and rewards well is also not a warning sign, as people who are suicidal may have difficulty receiving positive feedback due to low self-esteem.
