| Introduction: Suicide is an act intentionally carried out by an individual to harm themselves, fully aware of the consequences. Emotional and relational factors also play a significant role in suicide attempts. Psychologists associate suicide with low self-esteem and feelings of emptiness. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study, conducted from 2021 to 2023, involved sampling patients admitted to Amir al-Momenin Hospital in Zabol. A checklist was completed for each patient diagnosed with a suicide attempt, covering demographic data, methods of suicide, psychiatric history, and other relevant factors. Results: Methods of Suicide: Males: 2% drug overdose, 11% pesticide poisoning, 13% hanging, 3% self-immolation, 5% other intentional injuries. Females: 27% drug overdose, 30% pesticide poisoning, 2% hanging, 4% self-immolation, 3% other intentional injuries. A significant association was found between suicide methods and gender (Fisher’s Exact Test, P-value = 0.01). Conclusion: Suicide is a serious global public health issue. Patterns of suicide vary based on individual characteristics, methods, causes, and socio-cultural contexts. | ||
