      ABSTRACT

      Suicidal behavior, in most of the people, is the result of conglomeration of recent negative events in their life. In some there is a planning for the ”nal day, but most of the times, it is a rapid-onset act to relieve oneself from the mental agony (Kessler et al., 1999). Suicidal ideation refers to the thoughts of harming or killing oneself, wishing to be dead. Suicide intent conveys the seriousness or intensity of the person’s desire or wish to die at the time of a suicide attempt. Suicide attempt is an act undertaken with the goal of committing suicide. Parasuicide is a nonfatal, self-destructive act with the intention of ceasing one’s own life. Self-injury refers to a range of behaviors that may include cutting, scratching, head banging, self-mutilation with or without speci”c suicidal ideation or intent. Suicidality refers to all the suicidal behavior/ acts and suicidal thinking/thoughts referring to an intention to end life (O’Carroll et al., 1996; Posner et al., 2007; Silverman et al., 2007a,b). This term must not be equated with prevalence of completed suicide or imply high correlation between suicidal thoughts, behavior, and death given that there is no adequate scienti”c data to quantify.
