  MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Suicide and suicidal behavior
Suicidal behavior is any deliberate action with potentially life-threatening consequences, such as taking a drug overdose or deliberately crashing a car.
Suicidal behaviors often occur as a response to a situation that the person views as overwhelming, such as social isolation, death of a loved one, emotional trauma, serious physical illness, growing old, unemployment or financial problems, guilt feelings, and alcohol or other drug dependence.
Suicide attempts should always be taken seriously and mental health care should be sought immediately.
