Más allá del acto suicida en los adolescentes

Resumen

Suicidal behavior according to the Ministry of Health (2018), is considered as a sequence of events that are defined as suicidal processes, which are carried out progressively, starting in many cases from thoughts and ideas, which are preceded by plans and multiple suicide attempts with a progressive increase, to the point of consummating the suicidal act. Taking into account the above, it is considered of utmost importance to identify and clarify what are those causes that are triggering suicidal behavior in adolescents, since it is worrying that a population that is beginning to grow and perform in life, chooses to carry out a act of such magnitude. Therefore, we highlight that through this review it was determined that the possible causes of suicidal behavior in adolescents are rationed mainly with the changes to which they are exposed at this stage of their life cycle, then with the influence of inappropriate dynamics family and the school environment, which affect the individual in a significant way, since it is in constant interaction with them and with the various problems that occur there, and finally mental disorders, which also negatively influence the generation of suicidal behavior.
