How serious illness and suicide rate relate each other?

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

Suicide is defined as death induced by self-injurious activity with the intention of dying as a result of the behaviour. A suicide attempt is a non-fatal, self-directed, possibly harmful behaviour that is carried out with the intention of dying as a result of the behaviour. It's possible that a suicide attempt will not end in injuries.Here we will discuss serious illness and suicidal rates and how they are related to each other.

Step 2 Explanation

Serious illness and suicidal rates are both related to each other. Suicide is itself an illness. Mental health leads to suicidal cases. The more people suffer from mental health, the more the suicidal rates increase. The frequency of lives lost by suicide per 100,000 people is used to calculate suicide rates. When comparing rates from one year to the next, 'age-adjusted' rates are taken into consideration. Variances in population age distributions and overall population changes with time. The majority of suicides are caused by psychiatric illness, with depression, substance abuse, and psychotic being the most common risks. Anxiety, psychological issues, eating disorders, and trauma-related disorders, as well as biological mental issues, all play a role.
