Abstract
Suicide deaths especially among adolescents are very common in the clinical industry [1]. Alcoholism and substance use disorders frequently occur along side common psychiatric disorders and are associated with suicide deaths. Previous studies show that roughly sixty-three percent of people who committed suicide suffered from substance use disorders, especially alcoholism [2]. Several scientific studies found that individuals who suffer from substance use disorders and mainly alcoholism have a higher risk of suicide thoughts, suicide behaviors and suicide death. Currently, a number of risk factors for suicide have been recognized in alcoholism. However, there are a lot of inconsistencies in the results obtained from those studies. Again, there are still a lot of questions to be answered regarding the exact connection between substance use disorders and suicide. There are still rooms for more scientific research to be conducted about the relationship of substance use disorder. To examine the actual effects of alcoholism and substance use disorder on individuals with suicide ideation, attempted suicide or suicide death. Thus, a systematic review of available studies is necessary.
