SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR: A CLINICAL ANALYSIS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MODERN PSYCHIATRY AND PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH

Abstract

Suicidal behavior remains one of the most critical public health challenges worldwide. It is not merely an individual psychiatric condition but rather a complex phenomenon resulting from the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. This article reviews the key risk factors, clinical characteristics, early detection strategies, and preventive approaches related to suicidal behavior. Special attention is given to risk assessment in psychiatric practice and the importance of timely intervention strategies. The study highlights the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach and the role of public mental health systems in reducing suicidal behavior.
