This presentation summarizes different types of suicide according to Emile Durkheim. It defines suicide as the intentional act of a person ending their own life. Durkheim categorized suicide into four types: egoistic suicide which occurs when people feel socially isolated; altruistic suicide resulting from excessive social integration; anomic suicide due to a breakdown in social norms; and fatalistic suicide from over-regulation in society. The presentation concludes that suicide is a social act influenced by a person's relationship with society and support systems.

3. DEFINITION of SUICIDE
Suicide is the act of a human being intentionally
causing his or her own death. Suicide is often
committed out of despair or attributed to
some underlying mental disorder which
includes depression, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, alcoholism and drug abuse.
Financial difficulties, troubles with
interpersonal relationships and other
undesirable situations play a significant role.

4. DEFINITION of SUICIDE
Suicide is applied to every
case of death which results
directly or indirectly from a
positive or negative act,
carried out by the victim
himself, knowing that it
will produce this result.
--- Emile Durkheim

6. (1) Egoistic suicide:
According to Durkheim, when a man
becomes socially isolated or feels that
he has no place in the society he
destroys himself. This is the suicide of
self-centred person who lacks altruistic
feelings and is usually cut off from
main stream of the society.

7. Examples of Egoistic Suicide

8. (2) Altruistic Suicide:
This type of suicide occurs
when individuals and the
group are too close and
intimate. This kind of suicide
results from the over
integration of the individual

9. Example of Altruistic suicide

10. (3) Anomic suicide:
This type of suicide is due to
certain breakdown of social
equilibrium, such as, suicide after
winning a lottery. In other words,
anomic suicide takes place in a
situation which has cropped up
suddenly.

11. Example of Anomic Suicide

12. (4) Fatalistic suicide:
This type of suicide is due to
overregulation in society.
Under the overregulation of
a society, when a servant or
slave commits suicide, when
a barren woman commits
suicide, it is the example of
fatalistic suicide.

13. Examples of Fatalistic Suicide

14. Conclusion
suicide is not an individual act it is a
social act. People commit suicide
because they are not supported by
society or they do not feel loved by
their own family, in general suicide has
some connection with social rules or
standards and the individual.
