Suicide is considered a major preventable public health problem. It is the third leading cause of death among young adults worldwide. It is generally accepted that suicide marks the tragic endpoint of a highly complex behavior shaped by psychological, social, developmental, and neurobiological factors that translate into a predisposition for the act itself. Prevention strategies need to be tailored to the region-specific demographics of a country and to be implemented in a culturally-sensitive manner.This study explores the demographic factors of suicide in Andhra Pradesh state and strategies for prevention of suicides.
