SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR AMONG ADOLESCENTS

Abstract

Psychologists interpret suicide as a reaction of pressure on the personality. There is no single reason why a person takes his/her life. The predisposing factors also vary from person to person and no single causal factor for suicide has been identified. Professionals count a large number of factors that are relevant to suicide attempts. It is impossible to isolate one or more of them which lead to suicide.
