Suicide is the act of intentionally ending one's own life and is a major global public health concern, accounting for a substantial number of deaths each year. It is understood as the tragic outcome of complex interactions among psychological, social, biological, and situational factors, often involving mental health conditions such as depression, hopelessness, and severe distress, alongside difficult life circumstances. Suicide is widely regarded as preventable, and research emphasises early identification of risk, timely intervention, improved access to mental healthcare, and understanding of the risk and protective factors associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviour. The peer-reviewed research collected here addresses these dimensions. Studies describe innovative suicide prevention and treatment approaches, including contextual-conceptual therapy and a programme based on the realisation of meaningful personal goals, and examine suicidal ideation among torture and war survivors receiving psychotherapy and among nursing students in relation to anxiety, depression, and personality. Other work explores the severity of hopelessness in depressed inpatients, the relationship between cancer, depression, and suicide, attitudes toward suicide and physician-assisted suicide, and the prevalence of psychological distress in a population. Together these open-access articles span the risk factors, ideation, prevention, and treatment of suicide within the broader study of mental health and Death.
