Abstract
This chapter examines the main characteristics and differences in suicidal behaviours (fatal and non-fatal) in genders and different age groups. It underlines risk and protective factors, and motivations behind the acts. It also considers environmental factors, choice of methods and presence (and meanings/messages) of suicide notes. Recommendations for suicide prevention conclude the chapter.
