Suicidal behavior in childhood and adolescence is often linked to depressive mood, whether in the context of a depressive episodeor other mental disorders. Completed suicide in childhood is rare, a certain increase in the incidence of suicidal behavior occursin the adolescent development period, particularly growing is incidence of suicidal attempt.
The developmental point of viewhas to be taken into account when assessing the depth of depression and the suicidal risk. An important risk factor for suicidalbehavior is self-harm.
The issue is illustrated by case reports.
