For World Suicide Prevention Day, 10 September, WHO is releasing a framework for addressing the underlying causes of suicide and for developing action plans to suit each country and its communities. Suicide, though largely preventable, is one of the three leading causes of death among those in the most economically productive age group (15-44 years), and the second leading cause of death of those 15-19. At the other end of the age spectrum, the elderly are also at high risk.
