“…Violent methods were used more by males than by females, and females used atypical poisoning more often. Similar findings were also reported in cases of typical suicides (7,(34)(35)(36)(37). The mean age was about 40 years, with a range of 17-80 years.…”

Background: When a method is unusual, the intention is very strong and then prevention becomes a big challenge; although, suicide is a preventable public health problem. Objectives: The author aimed to look into unusual methods of suicidal attempts so that they can be considered in the formulation of prevention strategies. Methods: A search was done in PubMed, PubMed Central, Google, Google Scholar, and BanglaJOL with specific searching key words between 2000 and 2017. Eventually, 23 articles were selected purposively for review. Results: Nine suicide cases were reported as unusual poisoning, eight attempts were by violent methods, four by stabbing, and another four by unusual asphyxia. The mean age of the victims was 39.96 years, ranging from 17 to 80 years old, 68% being male. A total of 18 (72%) respondents died by the act, while 28% were saved from fatal attempts. Of the victims, 36% were found to have mental disorders, i.e. 28% had depression, 4% had schizophrenia, and 4% had bipolar 1 disorder. Seven cases had notable risk factors and two had a history of previous attempts. Conclusions: Adult males are more prone to use unusual methods. Males used violent methods more than females, whereas females used more unusual poisoning methods. Asian and south Asians used more poisoning methods than those from other parts of the world.

“…However, there is a shortage of studies based on actual medical student suicides (as opposed to suicidal behaviors more generally) and the reports in the international literature globally are few (Blacker et al, 2019). The situation is similar in Bangladesh (where there are no specific reports or datasets on attitudes and risk factors of medical student suicide victims), although there are a few anecdotal studies (e.g., Arafat, 2016Arafat, , 2018Arafat & Hossain, 2018;Arafat, Mali, & Akter, 2018;Arafat & Mamun, 2019;Mamun & Griffiths, 2019;Shah et al, 2017).…”

“…Early reviews revealed persons of 20-30 years persons are dying more (Khan 2002;Arafat 2017). Begum et al (2017a) found that about 47% of respondents were between 21 and 30 years, Mashreky et al found that the median age was 25 years, Shah et al (2018) found that about 54% of the respondents were within 18-25 years, Arafat et al (2018) found that about 60% of respondents were below 30 years of age, Shah et al (2017) found that about 61% of the respondents were below 30 years of age, Feroz et al…”

Objectives: Bangladesh is a densely populated country in south-east Asia with paucity of research in suicide. This systematic review was aimed at critical appraising various aspects of suicide in Bangladesh based on available literature and systematic search. Methods: Extensive literature search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, PubMed Central, Google, Google Scholar and BanglaJOL with searching key words without any date boundary and without any basis of types of studies, that is, all types of studies were scrutinised. The author focused on sources of suicide data along with epidemiological variables of suicides in Bangladesh such as suicide rate, gender of victims, methods of suicides, risk factors and prevention activities and role of media in suicide. Results: After exclusion of repetitions, screening was performed, and finally, 35 articles were selected for review. Amongst the 35 articles, 16 articles were original contributions, 2 systematic reviews, 6 narrative reviews, 2 scoping reviews, 3 editorials, 3 case reports and rest correspondence article. The review revealed that the actual rate of suicide in Bangladesh is yet to come out and quality data is a real challenge. Women are dying more than the men, and early adulthood is the most vulnerable time of life. Discussion: Suicide is a under attended problem in Bangladesh, as the country yet to reveal the actual rate of suicide along with the challenge of quality data. Prevention activities have been started but yet to be visualised. Decriminalisation of suicide in the legal criteria and establishment of suicide surveillance can be the top priorities in the country.
