gender problems of suicidal behaviour

Suicide is a serious medical and social problem that has an important impact on the demographic situation in the world. Thus, according to WHO, in 53 developed countries of the world among the main causes of death of people aged 15-34 years, suicide takes the third place and this trend is characteristic for both sexes and different ethnic groups 13. Despite the large number of studies in the field of suicidology, the existing methods of suicide prevention are not effective enough [122, 123], which necessitates their improvement. One approach to solving this problem may be the development of gender-differentiated methods of suicide prevention. This is due to the presence of important differences in the peculiarities of suicidal behavior in representatives of different sexes.
