Prévia do material em texto

Held by the Brazilian Association of 
Psychiatry (ABP) to mark the World 
Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10, the 
Yellow September campaign aims to 
demystify the issue and raise public 
awareness of the fact that suicide can be 
prevented. Suicide involves sociocultural, 
genetic, and environmental causes, but 
existence of a mental disorder is regarded 
as strong risk factor. According to a World Psychiatry survey, a mental 
disorder diagnosis would apply in 96.8% of suicide cases. According to 
ABP Chairman Antônio Geraldo da Silva, “this does not mean that suicide 
is always related to a mental disorder, but we must bear in mind that mental 
disorders are an important risk factor for suicide,” said the psychiatrist. In 
the list of mental disorders that increase suicide rates are depression, 
bipolar disorder, and those resulting from alcohol and other psychoactive 
substance addiction. “Personality disorders, schizophrenia, and anxiety 
attacks should also be observed carefully,” says Silva. According to the 
World Health Organization, more than 800,000 people commit suicide each 
year worldwide, equivalent to one suicide incident every 40 seconds.
