Abstract:
The narrative review of modern literature examines epidemiological data concerning suicidal behavior of children and adolescents in various countries, both in relation to completed suicide and other manifestations of the suicidal process, such as nonsuicidal self-injury, suicidal thoughts, intentions, attempts. Based on extensive literature research, the authors highlight the main epidemiological factors influencing suicidal behavior, including the contribution of the COVID-19 pandemic, and consider modern ideas about the trajectory of suicidal behavior in children and adolescents. The implementation of the global task of preventing suicidal behavior requires careful analysis of statistical data and identification of risk groups to create a more targeted approach to the prevention of suicidal behavior.
