Abstract
Suicide remains a pressing public health concern in Morocco, yet the research landscape surrounding this issue is relatively sparse. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive review of 96 articles about suicide in Morocco, sourced from the Scopus database. Focusing on the period from 2014 to 2023, 68 articles were selected for detailed analysis, revealing critical insights into the multifaceted nature of suicidal behavior in the country. Through a thematic categorization of the literature, encompassing domains such as Suicidal Behavior and Mental Health, Epidemiology and Risk Factors, Psychological Disorders, Suicide Prevention, Medical Emergencies, and Methodology and Technology, our review synthesized vital findings and trends in Moroccan suicide research. Notably, the analysis illuminated concerning patterns of suicidal behavior and identified significant risk factors, including mental health disorders, psychosocial stressors, and socio-economic challenges. In light of these findings, urgent attention is warranted to develop and implement targeted prevention strategies tailored to the unique needs of the Moroccan population to mitigate the impact of suicide on individuals, families, and communities alike.
