Predictors of Suicide Behavior in Adolescents with Depression

Abstract

The prevalence of teenage suicide has been progressively rising in recent years, posing a significant public health concern that jeopardizes the physical and psychological well-being of adolescents, and potentially their survival. Adolescents who experience depression are at an elevated risk for suicidal behavior. The present study provides a comprehensive overview of the distinct psychological, familial, and socio-environmental factors that contribute to suicidal tendencies among adolescents diagnosed with depression. The aim of this research is to establish a sound empirical foundation for the development of effective strategies to prevent adolescent suicide behavior.
