Suicide rates among different age groups and genders in Iraq at (2022-2023)

Abstract

Complex linkages between mental health issues, psychological pain, and outside pressures including relationship or financial challenges frequently lead to suicide. Suicide is seen as a preventable public health issue, and effective prevention efforts require a knowledge of its underlying causes. Suicide rates vary across geographies, sex, and age category. High income countries prefer to report greater suicide rates compared to poor and lower-income states. Ideation, planning, and attempt are the three stages of suicidality, each of which is more severe than the previous one and is thought to develop causally from it. Hopelessness appears to act as a moderator in the link between suicide thoughts and sleep problems, anxiety, and bad social interactions. Young people and young adults, as well as those with and without diagnoses of psychiatric problems, are all subject to the same observations.
