“Suicide” refers to the act of intentionally causing one’s own death. It is a serious and tragic phenomenon that can be driven by various factors such as severe mental health issues like depression, hopelessness, overwhelming stress, or social isolation. For example, a person who has been suffering from long - term, untreated depression may reach a point where they feel there is no way out and contemplate or attempt suicide. It is a complex and often - preventable behavior that requires attention from mental health professionals, family, and society.
