Abstract
Suicide (derived from the words sui = self and cidium = killing) means any case in which death results directly or indirectly from a positive or negative act, committed by the victim him/herself, who knows that it must produce this result (Durkheim). Pseudo-suicidal behaviours (false killings). The notion of suicide tends to be replaced by that of suicidal behaviour, which includes: successful suicide, suicide attempts, suicide ideas, presuicidal syndrome. From the definition of suicide, it follows that it is considered as such that act in relation to which the subject evaluates the consequences. Implicitly, this category will not include deaths that occurred during confusional states, which are accidental (although this article makes examples, exposures, references, differential diagnoses with this pathology as well), crepuscular, epileptic moods, dementia.
