These reasons are: Depression, Psychosis, Emotions, Death wish, Frustration and

Atonement for mistakes.

In present time, suicide is a great issue in the whole world. The worlds suicidal attempt
increasing day by day. WHO says that in every 40s there are committed suicide anywhere in
the whole world. In the time of 2000 to 2012, they survey about 170 country and relevant that
the world wide 8 million people commit suicide in every year. And about 79% commits in the

developing country. In 2018, WHO relevant a report named ‘preventing suicide’, where says
that 8 million suicidal people, those 1/3’s age belongs between 15 – 29 years old. WHO also
say as their present report that in the world how many people commit suicide, much more than
20% people failed in suicide. That 20% too much risky for attempt suicide. But it is matter of
sorrow that among the 170 countries, there are only 40 country undertaking contrivance to
prevent suicide. The developed country lunch some agency to prevent it. Some of them are –
Samaritans, American Foundation for suicide prevention, National Suicide prevention

Lifeline, The Jed Foundation, R U OK?, Project -84, AASRA etc.

Suicidology is a new topic for prevention suicide. It is one kind of topic that analysis the
suicidal people and their emotions, then they try to find out the way of saving life. In the fact
suicidology is a new branch of science. D. Edwin S Shneidman is the founder of suicidology.
It has a concept named ‘Lethality’ which analysis the trend of suicide also measures the trend.

NASP is an agency of Sweden, lunch that course. Oxford Textbook of suicidology and suicide
prevention is too much important for the Suicidology course. AISRAP also lunch the course in
the graduation stage. And they give the scholarship opportunity for PHD students. IN USA,
they also lunch that course for preventing suicide.

In Bangladesh, there are about 32 people commit suicide in every day. WHO relevant a report
in 2012 about the suicide of Bangladesh, where they show that about 19,697 people attempted

suicide. Suhrawardy medical college, Dhaka relevant a research report about suicide. That
report’s they say, there are 65 million people prone to suicide in Bangladesh. And this news is
very scary. Most suicide in Bangladesh are due to unemployment, sexual harassment, dowry,
eve-teasing, physical abuse, mental stress etc. Most of the problems are social problem. Our
society has a lot of bigoted people. We see the examples almost every day. That is harmful

both our country and that family. But alas! We have no agency for preventing suicide. None of
University has no subject including suicide or there are nor lunch the course of suicidology. It
is too much hopeless this countries people have no consciousness about suicide or mental
health. Rapidly, government should take essential step to reduce the rate of suicide. And
socially every people should to help the depressed, hopeless people. Once Greek Doctor
hypocrites said, “Art is long, life is short.” So, we should be happy in our shorten life. It is
advisable to leave death to the God.
