Suicide Risks and Prevention

By William M. Petrie, MD

Suicide is a terrible but preventable loss that also produces lifelong effects for the victim’s family and friends. Almost 1 percent of the U.S. population will die from suicide, with men outnumbering women. It is estimated that 12 to 15 suicide attempts occur for every death. Young people, ages 15 to 24, are especially vulnerable, as it is the third leading cause of death in this age group. Another group of people at high risk for suicide are those over age 45 (especially men) who are widowed or divorced with recent medical problems.
