To be so distraught that suicide is the only solution to one's despair is a heart-wrenching reality that is increasing in our culture. We try to understand the motivations of a person who attempts or succeeds to end his or her life from the perspective of the individual psychology and ability to cope, as well as the social circumstances he or she is in. Because of political, social, economic, and environmental factors, certain groups of people are at higher risk for suicide. It would seem that prevention and intervention are falling short for these vulnerable groups.
