| ==Overview==
| |
| The [[prevalence]] of [[suicidal ideation]] is approximately 18490 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. [[Suicide]] is the third leading [[Cause system|cause]] of death among persons aged 10-14, the second among persons aged 15-34 years, the fourth among persons aged 35-44 years, the fifth among persons aged 45-54 years, the eighth among person 55-64 years, and the seventeenth among persons 65 years and older. [[African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust|African]] [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|Americans]] commit [[suicide]] at rates much lower than those for [[Whites of the eyes|whites]], but they do so when much younger and they have a narrow, age-defined window of vulnerability. [[Age]]-specific psycho-pathological processes and protective factors may define [[suicide]] [[Risk-benefit analysis|risk]] for each [[Demographic-economic paradox|demographic]] group. [[Women's College Hospital|Women]] are more likely to have [[suicidal]] thoughts, but the majority of deaths by [[suicide]] are by men.The [[male]] to [[female]] ratio is approximately 4 to 1
