TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - The decriminalisation of suicide: a global imperative JO - Lancet psychiatry A1 - Kline, Sarah A1 - Sabri, Taha SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Suicide is the most extreme manifestation of our global mental health crisis. More than 700 000 people die by suicide every year across the world, and 77% of these deaths occur in low-income and middle-income countries. Suicide is particularly detrimental to young people because it is the fourth leading cause of death among people aged 15-29 years. Death by suicide is heart-breaking for the individual's loved ones, and represents a tragic loss of human potential.
