Suicide can be defined as the deliberate act of ending one’s own life, often arising from overwhelming psychological, social, or emotional distress. Globally, more than 700,000 people die by suicide each year, a tragedy that occurs once every 40 seconds making it one of the leading causes of death among young people aged 15–29.Beyond the statistics, each life lost represents untold pain for families, workplaces, and communities, underscoring the urgent need for awareness, prevention, and collective action. The importance of this conversation therefore cannot be overstated. Suicide not only devastates individuals and their loved ones, but also leaves lasting impacts on organizations, economies, and national well-being.
