Why  do people commit suicide ?



International Association for Suicide Prevention observes "World Suicide Prevention Day " every year on September 10 worldwide .This year's theme of the day is "Working Together to Prevent Suicide ."

A person can commit suicide due to various reasons including personality problems ,serious mental illness or lack of motivation ,drug addiction, anxiety ,depression or impulsivity etc .



According to study, 1 lakh 39.6 people commit suicide every year in Bangladesh .While the suicide rate is higher among boys, the rate is higher among females in Bangladesh. It is usually more common in younger girls. Many commit suicide due to lack of education ,poverty ,marital discord. Apart from this, love -related complications ,financial hardship, chronic diseases, family conflicts are some of the reasons behind suicide.
Many doctors have to write suicide reports while staying at village sub- centres or Upazila hospitals.


 In our country most men and women commit suicide by drinking pesticides. Moreover ,many people commit suicide by twisting a rope around their neck .This scene is very scary and heartbreaking. The hospital became heavy with the cries and wails of the relatives. Every year more than one lakh men and women commit suicide in Bangladesh.


 And nearly  800,000 men and women worldwide commit  suicide each year, far more than are killed in any war. that is,1 woman or man commits suicide every 40 seconds.
This suicide trend is mostly seen in young girls. Some are proud of their parents ,some have bad results in exams and some have unknown reasons . But most commit suicide due to depression.


What is depression ?


Depression is terrible mental disorder that kills a person without anyone's knowledge.
This depression seriously reduces the physical and mental performance of people . Currently , there are  about three hundred million (1 million=1million) depression patients in the world . A study of depression or anxiety.



In many cases , the deterioration of family or social relationships is the cause of this depression, which may remain completely undiagnosed. And vice versa. Many times people suffer from depression due to family or social tension.



As I said at the beginning ,the worst aspect of depression is that the affected patients silently commit suicide. A study found that depression is the leading cause of suicide among  15 to 24 -year - old s  in the world. Depression is more common in middle  and low income countries. In many cases  depression leads to diabetes and  hypertension .Depression lowers the body's immune system . In many cases, the elderly, children, teenagers and even expectant mothers or maternity mothers also develop depression, from which they commit suicide .
