Summary

Introduction

Suicide represents a relevant portion of the world's causes of death and is considered a serious public health problem (Hoffman & Islam, 2013). According to the World Health Organization, the annual suicide death rate in the world is 15 per 100,000 people in men and 8 per 100,000 in women (Suicide, 2014). In absolute numbers, this means over 800,000 suicide deaths each year (Sinyor, Tse, & Pirkis, 2017). Victims experience psychiatric disorders at the time of death, so these events are often related to an individual's impulsive and self-destructive behavior.
