The document discusses suicide, including its definition, types, epidemiology, etiology, assessment, and management. Some key points:
- Suicide is defined as self-inflicted death with evidence the person intended to die. It is best viewed as a symptom rather than a disease.
- 95% of suicide attempts are associated with mental disorders like depression, substance abuse, schizophrenia. Biological and genetic factors are also implicated.
- Assessment involves evaluating psychiatric symptoms, past attempts, psychosocial stressors, and directly inquiring about suicidal thoughts and plans. Tools like the Beck Scale and C-SSRS can estimate risk.
- Treatment involves ensuring safety, medical evaluation, psychotherapy, medication like antidepress

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
2. SUICIDE derived from Latin word for “ self-murder”.
defined as ‘Self inflicted death with evidence that the person intended to die.’
It is best viewed as a symptom rather than a disease per se and it is the underlying
cause that should be found and treated.
Some may take days, weeks or even years before acting while others act on
them impulsively. In Psychiatry, Suicide is primary emergency.
It is impossible to predict suicide, but numerous clues can be seen.
3. IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY
SUICIDE ATTEMPT :Self injurious behavior with non-fatal outcome
accompanied by explicit or implicit evidence that the person intended to
die.
ABORTED SUICIDE ATTEMPT: Attempt stopped before any physical
damage occurred.
SUICIDAL IDEATION: Thoughts of serving as the agent of one’s own death.
SUICIDAL INTENT: Subjective expectation and desire for self destructive
act to end in death.
LETHALITY OF SUICIDAL BEHAVIOUR: Objective danger to life
associated with a suicide method or action.
DELIBERATE SELF HARM: Willful self-inflicting of painful, destructive or
injurious acts without intent to die.
4. TYPES
EGOISTIC SUICIDE applies to those who are not strongly integrated into
any social group.
ALTRUISTIC SUICIDE applies to those susceptible to suicide stemming
from their excessive integration into a group, with suicide being the
outgrowth of the integration.eg-sati customs
ANOMIC SUICIDE applies to persons whose integration into society is
disturbed so that they cannot follow customary norms of behaviour.eg-
suicide after bankruptcy
FATALISTIC SUICIDE due to overregulation of a society.eg- slave commits
suicide.
PARASUICIDE is a term introduced to describe patients who injure
5. EPIDEMIOLOGY

10. ETIOLOGY
Sociological factors
Durkheim’s theory:
According to Emile Durkheim(French sociologist) the rate of suicide is
increased when the social bonds between people in a society are either too
strong or not strong enough. Integration and regulation are the societal
factors that contribute to suicide.
Psychological factors
Freud’s theory- Freud stated that suicide represents aggression turned
inward against an introjected ,ambivalently cathected love object.
Menninger’s theory: Karl Meninger conceived suicide as inverted homicide
and described 3 components of hostility in suicide :the wish to kill, the wish
to be killed, and the wish to die.
11. Biological factors- postmortem neurochemical studies have reported
low conc. Of 5-HIAA(metabolite of serotonin) in CSF.
Changes in presynaptic and postsynaptic serotonin binding sites.
Changes in Noradrenergic system of suicide victims.
Genetic factors-
Twin studies have shown that concordance for suicide is significantly more
frequent in monozygotic than in dizygotic twins.
Molecular Genetic studies- Polymorphism in THP gene (tryptophan
hydroxylase enzyme), alterations in genes controlling serotonin synthesis
and metabolism.
12. SUICIDE IN PSYCHIATRIC
DISORDERS
It has been studied that 95% of people who commit or attempt suicide have
one or the mental disorder:
Depression 60- 70% (attempted suicide)
Alcohol/Substance dependence upto 15%
Schizophrenia upto 10%
Antisocial personality disorder 5%
Dementia & Delirium 5%
Anxiety Disorder 20% (uncompleted suicide attempt)
14. ASSESSMENT
Patients history, current circumstances, mental state and direct questioning
about suicidal thinking and behaviors are asked
1. Identify specific psychiatric signs and symptoms
Assess mood, anhedonia, hopelessness, anxiety (level of symptoms/panic
attacks), agitation, global insomnia, fearfulness, aggression, violence toward
others, and impulsiveness
15. 2. Assess past suicidal behavior, including intent of self-injurious
acts
Obtain details about the precipitants, timing, intent, consequences as well as
well as the potential lethality of the attempt.
Also, assess patient’s thoughts about the attempt which includes:
Ones own perception of the chosen method’s lethality
Ambivalence toward living, visualization of death,
Degree of premeditation
Persistence of suicidal ideation, and reaction to the attempt
16. 3. Review past treatment history and treatment relationships
It can help in identifying medically serious suicide attempts
Also, about the status of past or current medical diagnoses that may be
associated with augmented suicide risk.
4. Identify family history of suicide, mental illness, and
dysfunction
Includes details of family conflict or separation, parental legal trouble, family
family substance use, domestic violence, and physical and/or sexual abuse
As, many aspects of family dysfunction might linked to self-destructive
behaviors
17. 5. Identify current psychosocial situation and nature of crisis
Detect any financial or legal difficulties, interpersonal conflicts or losses,
stress related to housing problems, job loss, educational failure
Their understanding also helps in mobilizing external supports, which can
have a protective influence on suicide risk.
6.Appreciate psychological strengths and vulnerabilities of the
individual patient
May include factors as coping skills, personality traits, thinking style, and
developmental and psychological needs.
18. SPECIFICALLY INQUIRE ABOUT SUICIDAL
THOUGHTS, PLANS, AND BEHAVIORS
It is essential as, the more an individual has thought about suicide, has made
specific plans for suicide, and intends to act on those plans, the greater will
be the risk
1. Elicit the presence or absence of suicidal ideation (one of
essential component )
At enquiry, it is important to focus on the nature, frequency, extent, timing
of suicidal thoughts and to understand the interpersonal, situational, and
symptomatic context in which they are occurring
19. 2. Elicit the presence or absence of a suicide plan
If suicidal ideation is present, then detailed information about specific
plans for suicide and any steps that have been taken toward enacting
plans
Some suicidal acts can occur impulsively with little or no planning, more
detailed plans are generally associated with a greater suicide risk
20. 3. Assess the degree of suicidality, including suicidal intent
and lethality of plan
Regardless of whether the patient has developed a suicide plan, the
patient’s level of suicidal intent should be explored
In general, the greater and clearer the intent, the higher the risk for suicide
will be.
21. ESTIMATE SUICIDE RISK
The goal is to identify factors:
That may increase or decrease a patient’s level of suicide risk
To estimate an overall level of suicide risk, and
To develop a treatment plan that addresses patient safety and modifiable
contributors to suicide risk.
22. TOOLS
Beck Scale for suicidal ideation (SSI) -19 ITEM . Each item is rated on a 3
point scale from 0 to 2, total score 38
Columbia suicide severity rating scale (C_SSRS) – two domains of suicidal
ideation and suicidal behavior,each is rated on a 5point ordinal scale.2
SAD PERSONS scale for assessment of suicide risk- Each risk factor is given
1 point, for a maximum 10 points.
Becks suicidal intent scale – 20 items each scoring 1 to 3 points.
Suicide risk assessment scale of Ducher (RSD)- It comprises of 11 ascending
levels. As the level increases, there are suicide thoughts with a desire to die
25. MANAGEMENT
Establish and maintain a therapeutic alliance
Attend to the patient’s safety
-Strict vigilance of the suicidal patient
-No access to dangerous objects
-Medication must be monitored and given by family members
Medical evaluation, lab tests
Determine a treatment setting - setting that is most likely to prove safe
and effective.
Develop a plan of treatment
- more intense follow-up in the early stages
- address substance use disorders
- review of suicidal tendencies or other symptoms
that may occur between sessions.
26. Positive psychotic symptoms, hostility, bizarre behaviour, tension,
uncooperativeness, excitement and motor hyperactivity should be treated
aggressively
Education regarding available treatment options will help patients make
informed decisions, anticipate side effects, and adhere to treatments.
Psycho-educate about the role of psychosocial stressors and other
disruptions in precipitating or exacerbating suicidality or symptoms of
psychiatric disorders
Reassess safety and suicide risk
- due to waxing and waning nature of suicidality
- if intoxicated when initially interviewed
- increase in suicide risk may occur as depressive
symptoms begin to lift.
Monitor psychiatric status and response to treatment.
27. ANTI-DEPRESSANTS
Mainstay of the treatment of patients suffering from anxiety and
depressive illness
Controversial results especially regarding SSRI’ s
Particularly close follow up to identify emerging suicidal risks
Cover with benzodiazepines
Non-tricyclic, non-MAOI antidepressants are relatively safe
Although the tricyclic antidepressants and MAOIs are much more toxic in
overdose, but useful in patients not responding to SSRI
28. LITHIUM
Strong and consistent evidence that it helps in major reductions in risk of
both suicide and suicide attempts
MOOD STABILIZING AGENTS
No established evidence of a reduced risk of suicidal behavior with any other
other “mood-stabilizing” anticonvulsants
ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS
the antipsychotic medications have been the mainstay of somatic treatment
for suicidal patients with psychotic disorders.
Clozapine: reduced rate of suicidal attempts
ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATIONS
Since anxiety is a significant and modifiable risk factor for suicide, utilization
of antianxiety agents may have the potential to decrease this risk.
29. ELECTROCONVULSIVE
THERAPY(ECT)
ECT is used to treat patients who are acutely suicidal, considered for patients
for whom a delay in treatment response is considered life-threatening
Efficacy of ECT is best established in patients with severe depressive illness,
manic or mixed episodes of bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or
schizophrenia
30. PSYCHOTHERAPIES
In addition to medications and ECT, psychotherapies play a central role in
the management of suicidal behavior in clinical practice.
Cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic
therapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy have been found effective in
clinical trials for the treatment of various disorders.
By targeting deficits in specific skills, such as emotional regulation, impulse
control, anger management, and interpersonal assertiveness, these therapies
helps in reducing suicide attempts.
31. SUICIDE PREVENTION
Measures to obtain accurate statistics regarding epidemiology.
Creating awareness about causes and prevention to public and health care
professionals.
Public health education through mass media.
Identifying high risk groups.
Creation of crisis intervention centres in vulnerable places and times
32. Suicide and MHA 2017
Under MHA 2107 section 115,
Presumptive of severe stress in case of attempt to commit suicide, states that
“any person who attempts to commit suicide shall be presumed, unless
proved otherwise, to have severe stress and shall not be tried and punished.”
“the appropriate Government shall have a duty to provide care, treatment
and rehabilitation to a person, having severe stress and who attempted to
commit suicide, to reduce the risk of occurrence of attempt to commit
suicide.”
