Mental Health Topics

Suicide

Suicide is a tragic and potentially preventable public health problem. People consider suicide when they are hopeless and unable to see alternative solutions to problems. Suicidal behavior is most often related to a mental disorder or substance abuse. Suicidal behavior is also more likely to occur when people experience stressful or tragic events.
