Suicide as a multifactorial pathology

Such a fundamental concept as suicidal behavior (SB) does not have clearly defined boundaries and content. Currently, SB and suicide are considered as a multifactorial pathology. However, classical studies based on the criteria of F. Vogel and A. Motulski confirming this idea have not yet been carried out. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the multifactorial nature of suicide (SB) and to identify observable predictor criteria that make it possible to confidently diagnose the presence of SB in a subject and assess the risk of suicide.
