Detailed Description

Substance use disorder (or drug addiction) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by recurring desire to continue taking the drug despite harmful consequences. Substance use disorders are a major risk factor for suicide Suicide is a leading cause of premature death in young adults. Data from the World Health Organization indicate that the rate of completed suicide for the world's population is 16 per 100,000 inhabitants, which means that each year more than a million people in the world commit suicide. Suicide attempts are five to twenty times more common than the completed suicide.Based on the data from the research community, approximately 5% of adults attempts suicide at least once in their lifetime .

Mental health problems are the most common and best explored risk factor associated suicidal ideas, suicide attempts and completed suicide. About 90% of all people who commit suicide met the diagnostic criteria for one or more psychiatric disorders . People who use alcohol and/or drugs or are dependent on them, attempting suicide nearly six times more often than people who do not use these substances. The rate of completed suicide among addicts is 2 to 3 times higher than among the males who are not addictst, while in a few cases the manner in which the suicide is attempted is not directly related to drugs . Although there is a correlation between the disorder caused by the use of substances and suicidal behavior, a large number of addicts will never attempt suicide. It is therefore important to identify those individuals with the disorder caused by the use of substances that may be at higher risk for suicide .

Many risk factors for suicide in the general population also apply to drug addicts. The older drug addicts are at higher risk for attempts and suicides than younger addicts Another very important fact when it comes to suicide attempts is the drug used. It is known that heroin and sedatives are substances with which suicide attempts suicide are most often made, while other drugs are less characteristic .
