When one harms themselves with the intention of dying and as a result of these actions dies, a suicide has occurred. An attempted suicide is when a person harms themselves with the intention to die but does not complete their original intention.
A suicide attempt usually occurs when:
- One wants to escape or lessen emotional pain
- There are feelings of hopelessness and despair
- There are feelings of worthlessness with the belief that others would be better off if one dies.
Among the reasons why a person decides to end their life are:
- Mental health problems
- Bad experiences with relationships
- Physical illness
- Physical or sexual abuse
