每年，自杀都是全球所有年龄段的前20大死亡原因之一。不幸的是，自杀很难预防，这在很大程度上是因为一般人群中危险因素的流行率很高。在这篇综述中，临床和心理的危险因素进行了检查和自杀预防的方法进行了讨论。有效预防自杀的策略包括手段限制、负责任的媒体报道和公众教育，以及识别方法，如筛查、看门人培训和初级保健医生教育。虽然预防自杀的治疗是困难的，后续包括药物治疗，心理治疗，或两者兼而有之可能是有用的。然而，预防方法不能仅限于个人。社区、社会和政策干预也至关重要。
Every year, suicide is among the top 20 leading causes of death globally for all ages. Unfortunately, suicide is difficult to prevent, in large part because the prevalence of risk factors is high among the general population. In this review, clinical and psychological risk factors are examined and methods for suicide prevention are discussed. Prevention strategies found to be effective in suicide prevention include means restriction, responsible media coverage, and general public education, as well identification methods such as screening, gatekeeper training, and primary care physician education. Although the treatment for preventing suicide is difficult, follow-up that includes pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, or both may be useful. However, prevention methods cannot be restricted to the individual. Community, social, and policy interventions will also be essential.
