Abstract

There were more than 800000 suicides per year throughout the globe and it is second leading cause of death among the age group of 15-25. National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB, 2014) reported that on an average more than one tenth of a million commit suicides per annum that indicate 15 suicides per hour, pushing India to the top position in the world. Suicide had emerged as one of the leading causes of deaths in India and around the world (WHO, 2012). Suicide was mainly linked to mental disorders but recent evidence indicates that normal people take their life due to impulsiveness and easy access to means to end life (WHO, 2012). Even though it is one of leading cause of death in India it is not considered as a serious public health (WHO, 2012) issue. The first objective of the study was to find the reasons for stress among working professionals leading to suicide ideation, which can comprehend to factors leading to suicides and second objective was to establish the relation between suicide stresses and ideation. Suicidal behavior proposed similar model whereby suicidal behavior is associated with socio-cultural, developmental, psychiatric, psychological and family factors. Bonner & Rich (1987) also found similar results as the current study which indicates that Social stress, Economical, Health and Family stress have the significant and positive relationship with suicide ideation and the model predicts 83% of the variance. © 2018 Polish Psychiatric Association.All right reserved.
