Suicide.
Suicide is considered by the Ministry of Health as a public health problem, complex, multifaceted and of multiple determinations, which can affect individuals of different origins, social classes, ages, sexual orientations and gender identities. Every year, about 800,000 people die by suicide in the world, according to WHO (World Health Organization).
In Brazil, one person dies by suicide every hour, while three others tried unsuccessfully to kill themselves in the same period. The subject is so complex that many people avoid talking about it, which is not always the best decision. A problem of this magnitude cannot be overlooked, as it is known that suicide can be prevented. Correct, responsible and ethical communication is an important tool to avoid the contagion effect.
