:- Suicide is a serious public
health problem that can have long-lasting effects on individuals, families, and
communities. Preventing suicide requires strategies at all levels of society. Rates of suicide are higher in men than in women, with men up to four times more likely to commit suicide. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds. 73% of global suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries. The reasons for suicide are multi-faceted, influenced by social, cultural, biological, psychological, and environmental factors present across the life-course. A prior suicide attempt is an important risk factor for suicide in the general population.
