Suicide is defined as intentionally harming oneself in order to end one’s life. When someone makes an attempt at suicide, they damage themselves with the intention of taking their own life, but they are not successful in doing so.1. Numerous variables can either raise or lower the risk of suicide. There is a link between suicide and other types of harm and violence. For instance, the risk of suicide is increased in those who have suffered violence, such as sexual assault, abuse of children, or bullying. Suicidal thoughts and actions can be reduced by having easy access to healthcare, a strong support system, and family and community connections.
