“…Young people are more impulsive and less experienced with critical life situations and opt suicide attempt to tide over trivial issues. [14,15] In accordance with other studies, [8,12,13] it was observed in the study that the verbal abuse was the common reason for suicide attempt and younger people were more sensitive and easily get offended by criticism even from their own parent or spouse. Similar to many other studies, rural community and lower socioeconomic were more vulnerable compared to their counterparts.…”

Context: Suicide is a major public health problem and ranks second among the leading causes of death in both genders in 15-34 years. Suicidal attempts are 20 times higher than the completed suicides. Aims: The aim was to identify background risk factors and precipitating factors for suicide attempts in Pondicherry district and to fi nd out the reporting status of suicide attempts. Settings and Design: Hospital-based descriptive study. Subjects and Methods: 200 subjects who have attempted suicide from JIPMER and Indira Gandhi Government Hospital and Post Graduate Institute Pondicherry were interviewed. Monthly data on attempted suicide were collected from Crime Record Bureau of Pondicherry and Villupuram district and Medical Records Department of these two hospitals was collected. Statistical Analysis Used: SPSS version 16.0 was used. Chi-square test was used to test the signifi cance of the difference between two proportions. Results: Most common precipitating factor found among those who attempted suicide was verbal abuse, most often by parents (31.9%). The most common mode of suicide attempt was consumption of chemical poison in 56% of subjects followed by plant poison 41.5%. The suicide intention was high in 81.5% of subjects. No signifi cant difference in risk factors could be found between subjects from Pondicherry and villupuram district. It was found that there was gross under-reporting of attempted suicides to Crime Records Bureau. Conclusions: Measurement of suicide intention enables us to predict the future suicidal behavior in adults; individuals with a high suicide intent index pose a major public health problem. Hence, there is a need for opportunistic screening of those with suicidal ideations as well as counseling and follow-up of those with suicide attempts to prevent further attempts.

“…Kalediene et al observed the highest suicide rate in summer, and the lowest rate in winter [27]. These findings were partially confirmed by the study by Doganay et al, revealing that the highest suicide rate was observed in summer and in spring [28]. According to Rocchi et al, the time with the highest percentage of suicide cases was the spring period [29].…”

“…Между тем алкоголь является не единственным фактором, отягчающим суицидальное поведение. На-пример, установлена положительная корреляционная связь частот ежемесячных попыток самоубийства со средними месячными значениями влажности, темпе-ратуры окружающей среды, продолжительности и ин-тенсивности солнечного света, отрицательная с облач-ностью и атмосферным давлением [14]. Подобные за-кономерности обнаружены и нами [2].…”
