TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Finished with life anyway and then stigmatized for attempting suicide-an overview JO - Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland) A1 - Kasten, Erich A1 - Eilers, Jill Julia SP - EP - VL - 10 IS - 11 N2 - This article provides an overview of suicide and how society deals with it. Starting from early societal imprints through historical, religious and political influences, the origins of stigmatization are addressed. Even today, suicidal people experience stigmatization not only from society but also from the health system that treats suicidal people. This has far-reaching consequences for the people affected and runs counter to optimal treatment. Different approaches to a possibly improved handling of suicidality will be discussed.
