Trends of suicide vary widely according to time, region, age group, sex, and race. Despite mixed trends of increases or decreases in suicide rates around the world, suicide remains an important public-health problem. In an effort to understand and prevent suicide, researchers have investigated medical, psychosocial, cultural, and socio-economic risk factors associated with the environment as a promising line of research. There is now considerable evidence that childhood and family adversities in general such as childhood sexual and physical abuse, witnessing domestic violence, parental separation or divorce and living with substance abusing, mentally ill or criminal family members may be both strongly interrelated and individually related to suicidal behavior in adolescents as well as adults. The approach towards prevention of suicide has to be multidisciplinary. To recognize that adverse childhood experiences that frequently take place as multiple events, identifying and treating those young people who have been exposed to such experiences, promoting increased awareness among parents, teachers, and health professionals of the important role that severe interpersonal difficulties and dysfunctional cognitions can play in the development of suicidal behavior in young people, and helping parents modify their maladaptive child-rearing behavior could help. Child and family support programs, employment support for mothers, and legal guarantees of gender equality, could moderate problems of socio-economic disparity and poverty, which predicts both parents' and children's suicidal behaviors in modern societies.
