• Abstract:

  In Brazil, statistics confirm that, the rate of suicides in the 15 to 29 age group is close to 6.9 cases for every 100 thousand inhabitants, 3% to 20% of people in this age period can attempt suicide. The leading countries in this ranking, such as: India, Zimbabwe and Kazakhstan, for example, which have more than 30 cases for every 100,000 inhabitants, this puts Brazil in a position below these countries, as Brazil is in 12th place on the list of the Latin American countries with the most suicide deaths, logically still an uncomfortable position. Observing through the study of psychology, suicidal behavior is a phenomenon that has stimulated and promoted several researches and studies aiming at its cultural and universal understanding. Studies show that, in biological terms, suicide is an analytical disorder. To carry out the suicidal act, a specific brain circuit decompensation corroborates the execution of the suicide. There are two types of suicide, passive and active, being the passive characteristic in which the individual wishes to die, however, he did not draw any plan. The active suicide, on the other hand, wishes to cease to exist, and has a definite plan to commit to suicide. Another factor that must be considered in relation to suicide is the cerebral symptoms due to various oppressions the individual ends up carrying out suicide through impulsive behavior.
