There are many reasons for suicide and suicidal behavior, and first of all, such conditions are provoked by disturbances in the metabolic processes of the brain. The true causes of suicide or suicidal behavior can only be determined by a psychiatrist when examining the patient. The issue of the influence of weather conditions and time of year on the frequency of suicides has been repeatedly discussed by various scientists, whose data were very contradictory. According to the views of the famous psychiatrist K. Jaspers, autumn itself contributes to melancholy. They also often write about suicides in the spring. Considering the periods of examination sessions at universities and final school tests, there is a high suicidal activity among schoolchildren and applicants in the summer.

Suicide in facts
Suicide is the intentional termination of one's own life or suicide. This is a destructive form of behavior whose goal is voluntary self-destruction. Today, suicide is one of the 10 most common causes of death in the world. Every year more than 1 million people die due to suicide. And only one in five people who have suicidal thoughts tell others about it.
Nowadays there are more and more requests on the Internet about methods of suicide, how to die quickly without pain. More and more videos and websites aimed at suicide are appearing. This suggests that due to high psychophysical stress, the human psyche cannot stand it and fails. That is why we are increasingly encountering various cases of suicide.
What to do if you have thoughts of suicide? Leading experts around the world recommend that at the first signs of suicidal thoughts, if they come more and more often, you should immediately consult a good psychiatrist. Not to a psychologist, not to a psychotherapist, but to a psychiatrist! Only in this case will it be possible to avoid trouble.
Reasons for suicide
The World Health Organization has identified more than 800 causes of suicide. At the same time, about 40% remain unknown. 20% of people commit suicide due to fear of punishment. And approximately 18% kill themselves due to mental illness, and the same number die due to difficulties in family relationships. About 6% of people who commit suicide do so out of passion.

Suicidal tendencies
Suicidal tendencies are most often detected by people from a person’s close social circle. To understand the intentions and thoughts of your colleague, relative, friend, ancestor or spouse, you need to know the signs of suicidal behavior. These include:
- neglect of safety in moments dangerous to health and life;
- search for non-standard leisure activities that are life-threatening;
- running away from home;
- the emergence of fears that cannot be explained by logic;
- untidiness in clothing and everyday life, refusal of hygiene procedures;
- depressed state, prolonged sadness, depression;
- loss of interest in life;
- aggressive behavior;
- ignoring social norms;
- a sudden desire to complete the work started, writing a will, distributing things, selling an apartment;
- neglect of one's responsibilities at work, school and home;
- depressive conversations, mentions of the approaching and long-awaited end of some process.
It is important to remember that not only a loved one can detect a desire to commit suicide in a person. This dangerous condition is often noticed by attentive but casual acquaintances (taxi drivers, hairdressers, manicurists, couriers, etc.).
Suicide trends
According to statistics, there are gender variations in suicide. Men turn to suicide as a way to “solve problems” twice as often as women, both in groups with diagnosed mental disorders and in groups of healthy people. The most common mental disorders are depression and schizophrenia. The greatest risk of suicide is observed among those who have already attempted suicide before.
Although mental health services are recommended for high-risk people who have already attempted suicide, it should be kept in mind that psychotherapeutic services will have the greatest preventative effect if they are provided before the suicide attempt. When considering the problem of suicide, the most successful are preventive measures and timely treatment of mental disorders.
Suicide in people of different ages
A person can become suicidal at any age. But the most vulnerable are children and adolescents. Today, suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents aged 14-19. In most cases, suicide occurs after prolonged depression. Other causes of suicide among teenagers include:
- suicides among close relatives;
- drug use, especially psychostimulants, and alcohol;
- antisocial behavior;
- decreased self-esteem;
- failures at school;
- breaking up with a close friend;
- change of place of residence and loss of contact with friends;
- pressure from parents;
- dysfunctional and alcoholic family.
Most often, suicide occurs in adulthood. There is an opinion that suicide is committed by people with mental illness. But this is the tip of the iceberg.
What pushes
Most people who decide to voluntarily self-destruct are mentally healthy and mentally strong individuals. Often adults look back at the past and discover that most of the things they dreamed of in their youth never came true. Or suicide is committed at the peak of grief and loss, when a person forgets about past achievements and future prospects. In such situations, a person needs a qualified specialist: a psychotherapist who will help overcome grief and improve the quality of life, and also show ways to achieve the desired goals. But, in many cases, a person who wishes to die does not turn to a psychologist or psychiatrist. And he decides to get out of a difficult condition on his own and commits suicide.
Indirectly affect the suicide rate:
- political changes in the country;
- changing the moral principles of city residents;
- changes in the institution of family, church reforms.
Adults often commit suicide without much thought. Therefore, it is extremely important to recognize approaching grief and help the person in constructive ways. If a person has no appetite, is depressed, loses self-confidence, or neglects social contacts, one should be seriously concerned about the state of the adult personality. If you contact a specialist at the Transfiguration Clinic, you will be able to receive all the necessary recommendations on how to behave in this situation and how to help the person.
Lonely pensioners and elderly people are also susceptible to suicide. The reasons for this action may most often be:
- difficult financial situation;
- lack of social contacts;
- feeling of worthlessness, feeling of abandonment;
- an abundance of physical ailments.
Psychological assistance and treatment
Treatment of a person with suicidal tendencies takes place on a hospital basis. For a full recovery, it is necessary to conduct a diagnosis and identify the current state of a person’s health. Are there any abnormalities in the functioning of the brain and mental disorders, is the person taking medications, and the general condition of the body? These and other factors can affect the psychological state of an elderly person and provoke the emergence of suicidal tendencies. The specialists of the Transfiguration clinic know what can cause destructive behavior and what measures are necessary to prevent the violent death of an old man.

What is a suicide infection?
This term is used to refer to the process by which the suicide of one or more people can trigger an increase in suicidal behavior in others. This impact can affect many, but especially affects those who are already thinking about suicide, have previously attempted suicide, or have risk factors.
A recent study published in the journal PLoS One showed a nearly 10 percent increase in suicide rates following the suicide of actor Robin Williams in 2014. Men aged 30 to 44 showed the largest gains during this time.
When a celebrity commits suicide, the media is filled with articles and reports about her death, including sensational information and specific details. Such information coverage (sometimes pseudo-information) can provoke people with suicidal thoughts to identify with the celebrity or experience an increased sense of helplessness.
