Abstract

Some of the factors associated with a raised risk of suicide are well established. Men are known to be more vulnerable than women, especially those aged 45-59. People with mental health problems, particularly depression, are at greater risk than the general population, as are those who self-harm or misuse drugs or alcohol. Social isolation is another acknowledged risk factor.
