On 10 September 2017, world suicide prevention day was organized. Globally, suicide is acknowledged as an important public health concern, and that this problem is growing exponentially. To prevent suicide, interventions used are mostly psychosocial or medications. Psychosocial ones include preventative and therapeutic measures including psychoeducation and screening while medications include antidepressants, antianxiety and other treatments. In the cases of severe depression with suicidal tendencies, electroconvulsive therapy is administered.
