I believe that suicide is a consequence of the total emptiness that the human being realizes for its existence. The reasons will always be puzzling, because you can not do research and tabulate data with those who performed this act. It is up to all the survivors of this turbulent life to join efforts so that their colleagues or loved ones do not get into this situation.

Dear @Ahmad, please do visit the following thread, very long one and with so many answers and resources. There are almost 700 answers!

*जहां कदर नहीं वहां जाना नहीं,* *जो पचता नहीं, वो खाना नहीं।*

*जो सत्य पर रूठे उसे, मनाना नहीं,* *जो नज़रों से गिरे, उठाना नहीं।*

*डटे रहना पर कभी घबराना नहीं।*

Worthy participations by Drs.Francisco and Ljubomir.

I totally agree with Francisco. But to make a comparison it is necessary to consider the percentage of suicides and not the absolute value. Furthermore, I would just like to add that it is necessary for states to improve and strengthen the public system of pisicological assistance and, more generally, social welfare.

Depression. Losing the last strands of hope.

Why do many people take their own life?

Think another possible reason people take their own life is because they find no hope for themselves or on other people, resources etc. Think "hope" can influence how we think, see, decide or act on something.

Life is a mixture of joy & tears .It is a tears which human beings have not accepted as the will of the destiny which we have to consider as a challenge of the life for which we have to find a solution by finding the root cause of tears & find with the confidence to find the solution for making our life comfortable .

Human beings in his adverse circumstance make their life morbid under serve depression which may cause the problem of health in the line with B.P & Heart Attack . Such individual instead of finding the solution with the help of silence sitting ,will power & faith it may help them to live their life .In case if individuals have with them a religious outlook they may go to the respective holy place , & take recourse to power of prayer ,& mediation which may help them to change their decision of committing suicide .

This is my personal opinion

I suggest that involvement in suicide should be looked at as a purely psychological and medical problem. A person who is at the end state of committing suicide is really sick and has missed necessary medical attention. It would not matter whether he or she was out to avoid disgrace. Depression could be as could be as seroius as madness.

The answer to the question may vary, given the percentage of suicide in different countries, the surprise that it is high in rich countries, and the advanced psychiatry, that calls for further studies, May be impaired in faith and self-confidence with the accumulation of negative thoughts

This is due to the dozy-chaos end of the human civilization.

Article Dozy-chaos end of the human civilization, Journal of Ultra S...

When people lost any hope in respected life he feel that there is no mean for his survival ,and forget that he would face a hell or paradise he would reached a mizrable moments led him to kill himself and some times killed many peoples before himself as an expression of revenge and hate of every thing.

I think, due to loss of hoping.

Dear colleagues,

Suicide is the complete loss of cognitive energy of life due to the inability to reason for living, because of the greatness of gravities of suffrage and pain that seem impossible to resolve. It is when someone runs out of a grain of reason as to why the situation he/she lives under happen and concluding with certainty (irrational decision) the impossibility of tomorrow and beyond, and take the fastest route to instant freedom to the suffering soul and mind for a painless living of eternity. Suffrage and pain increase irrationality and thereby creates delusion, and suicide is the built up and culmination of these effects facilitated by loneliness.

Suicide can be reduced by up close follow up, constant distractions of the person from his/her thoughts and not to leave him/her alone for longer time, reasonable advice and support from family members and people around the person so that the loss of hope, lack of reason and broken linkage of living are reconnected and rekindled and maintaining these things until the person is fully aware of reality.

Regards,

In the profession of medicine, young people caring for very sick patients often begin to place too much on their shoulders in the care role which they cannot bear. In a highly competitive training program, there is often no one for the young person to go to and talk, even attending physicians may be distant given their own research and care roles that have to be executed simultaneously.

This study was done in our institute in the toxicology department on the psychosocial aspects of patients who were admitted for attempted suicide . This was done by utilizing the intent score & life stress events that lead to attempt suicide . Many of them did not have a psychiatric disorder , but were confronted by many stressful events .

We normal peoples ask this question and trying to find answers but those peoples will ask opposite of this question and probably can't find their answers / reasons for their existence hence the results.

Hello,

The true causes persuading an individual to claim his/her own life is not known yet. However, the latest figures released by concerned organizations reflect that several factors have actually been identified as the main culprit.

1) The individual suffers from acute psychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia,

2) The individual is an addict using a substance abusively.,

3) The cultural heritage of the family shows numerous instances of suicide, and

4) The individual cannot maintain a healthy relationship with family and friends.

Best regards,

No hope any more

I can not understand either.

My friend's researcher seems to think that he may commit suicide before. At that time, it seems that daily highs continue as mental stress has never experienced before. As a result, insomnia continued, it seems that he has dreamed of committing suicide when he sleep occasionally. In this way he can not judge whether the present is a dream or a reality. After all, he was saved by his family.

Even in any economically rich society, stress can not be reduced to zero, so many people will die of suicide.

Suicide has been the only KNOWN way out for people who have stayed in the darkness with no hope or interest of assistance and care from others. People with high toxicity of bad thoughts with no one giving them a ray of good thoughts spiced with hope often wish to step into the domains of suicide. Depression sets in and in their sorrowful solitary life pursues the painful path of suicide. Families, friends and societies must be interested in persons who give signals of hopelessness in their speech and demeanor. Our great words of comfort to such ones can be a resilient force in pulling them from the fire that permanently burns their lives which could have benefitted the society...the insane and wicked decision ever...suicide.

It could be salvation from unbearable physical or mental pain or the recognition of the senselessness of the own existence.

I think that there are several reasons behind, they are:

1 - Lack of religious grounds

2 - Staying away from God or lack of faith in him

3- Unbelief in the Last Day and Account after Death

4 - Escape from responsibility,

5- Escape from bearing the consequences

6 - Family disintegration

7 - Family space and insufficient attention to children

8- The long periods of the leisure time

May Allah preserve and bless us and our sons

Suicide is possible only in one case: it is continuous and persistent agonizing hellish suffering, which can not be prevented by any means. In all other cases, this is a huge sin. People who commit suicide must understand one thing: this planet is the only one in the whole universe where there is life and there will never be another life. You can always find a solution to solve any problem, there are no unsolvable problems at all and this should be well understood. Before you commit suicide, it would be useful to watch some videos, for example:

- World Cup Wheel Chair Dancing - 2016 - in Saint-Petersburg - Extravaganza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMNGyvF3TTc

- a girl who was born without both hands draws the picture with her foot, pinching her thumb with her thumb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JECAQU0tFyI

After this viewing they will understand that they should be happy, because they are absolutely healthy people and this should stop them from committing suicide. They should also understand that now in our time, the percentage of born children with disabilities is catastrophically increasing, which apparently do not realize that they are not normal people. There are hundreds of millions of such children around the world. However, they must understand that they were born healthy people. Let them go once in their life to a school for children with disabilities and look at them from the side. After such a viewing, they will get very good immunity from any suicide, I'm sure of it.

Good question

this is a disease which can not be diagnosed and treated

Suicide in economically stable countries is basically because of being challenged with continuity.... when they fail to find any further challenges they go for something most challenging. The statistics show that in high GDP regions, relatively more financially stable families face this issue.

You wont find a financially poor man committing suicide in developed countries.

Because they cannot TAKE it anymore.

Because failure or frustration

when a person cant face the difficulties....problems...in his/her life....they find suicide as a best solution.....

Zero Suicide Initiative: Suicide Survivor!

A suicide survivor can be described as someone who has been affected by or lost a loved one to suicide.

Owen Robinson of Great Falls knows that experience. He lost his father to suicide.

Since his loss, Owen has journeyed through many emotions and grief...

He was motived to do something so others wouldn't have to walk alone. Robinson started the "Life After Suicide" group through Benefis Peace Hospice. 

The free, 10-week program is held twice a year specifically for those who've lost someone to suicide.

“There are two components of that loss that are different than other losses.  There’s always a feeling of guilt.  The person left behind somehow thinks, and usually unfoundedly, they think they’re the reason, they should’ve known, they should’ve been able to stop it.  That’s what I thought.  Secondly, there’s a stigma behind suicide.  So if you lost somebody to suicide, you don’t really want to talk about it to anybody because it’s a stigma,” explained Robinson...

Very funny numbers! people in Egypt fight to live! although difficulties in everything! you can not imagine what I am saying apart to work in Egypt for 3 months then tell your story. We have rare suicide cases in Egypt because of difficulties! probably some hardship make people challenge to live and see tomorrow better instead to kill tomorrow today!

The psychologically week persons sometimes feel alone in this world, lost confidence on the surrounding people, and think themselves of no use for the society - these type of irrational thoughts promote them to commit suicide.

I think this is totally a problem of mental health. They may come out from these problems if proper counselling is extended. The wholehearted affection and care of the family members and all related persons will be of immense helpful to remove this mental health problem from the society.

Ahmad, this is a great question. I work in a suicide prevention research lab -- attached are the citations of key papers of several of the leading theories of suicide -- the best our current research has to offer. All four distinguish between individuals that have thoughts of suicide, but no suicidal behavior, and indivduals with both thoughts and behavior.

Margaret M Baer, Thanks so much

In the USA most do It because of depression or mental Illiness.

Madam Margaret M Baer,

Good papers on the topic. Thanks

Dear Ahmad Alrawashdeh , I was surprised with this cause of suicide!

A radiography student took his own life after being accused of plagiarism, an inquest has heard...

To E.Fromm, "People have committed suicide because of their failure to realize the passions for love, power, fame, revenge. Cases of suicide because of a lack of sexual satisfaction are virtually nonexistent." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Erich_Fromm

In the media dominated society of the USA, we are constantly exposed to (mostly false) images of and stories of people who lead exceptional lives. Many Americans succumb to the pressure to be something other than what they are and a dissatisfaction with their place in society, which too often leads to a feeling of worthlessness.

The video below describes the causes of existential misery that many Americans feel perhaps more acutely than members of any other society.
