Suicide and risk of suicide

Abstract

Both suicidal behaviour and consummated suicide are an important problem for public health throughout the world, which is why it is important to understand its determinant factors. Autolytic conduct is a complex and non-aleatory act in which socio-demographic, psychological and biological factors intervene. This study analyses the most important risk factors in autolytic behaviour. It is important to have a good understanding of these factors to be able to adequately evaluate autolytic risk and, as far as possible, to prevent autolytic behaviour.
