Possible Causes and Prevention of Suicidal Acts

Introduction

In many parts of the world, including developed and developing nations, self directed violence is one of the most grave public health issues. The violence acts include suicidal behaviors (non fatal and fatal attempts); intentional self harm, suicidal ideation (considering, thinking about and planning for suicide) and non-suicidal but intentional self harm (for instance self mutilation oriented behaviors).
