Suicide methods are the various ways in which a person might attempt to end their own life. These methods can range from the use of firearms, to overdosing on medication, to jumping from high places. The choice of method can be influenced by many factors, including availability, perceived effectiveness, and cultural or societal norms.

Firearms[edit | edit source]

Firearms are a common method of suicide, particularly in countries where they are easily accessible. This method is often lethal due to the severe damage that can be inflicted on vital organs.

Overdose[edit | edit source]

Overdose involves the ingestion of drugs or other substances in quantities that are much higher than the recommended or safe levels. This can lead to a variety of outcomes, from severe illness to death.

Jumping from high places[edit | edit source]

Jumping from high places is another method of suicide. This can involve jumping from buildings, bridges, or other high structures. The impact can cause severe injury or death.

Cultural and societal norms[edit | edit source]

Cultural and societal norms can influence the choice of suicide method. For example, in some cultures, certain methods may be considered more honorable or acceptable than others.

Prevention[edit | edit source]

Suicide prevention involves measures taken to reduce the risk of suicide. This can include mental health support, crisis intervention, and limiting access to means of suicide.
