Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Improvement in emotional state does not necessarily mean a heightened risk of suicide. This statement is not a myth; in some cases, individuals may show signs of improvement or a sudden lift in spirits because they have decided to end their lives, which can paradoxically increase the risk. However, the statement as phrased suggests that improvement always means heightened risk, which is misleading and not universally true. The other options (A, B, C) are indeed common myths about suicide.
