IN the past decade, suicide has gained prominence as a global problem of epidemic proportions.

Studies summarised in the World Suicide Report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2014 indicate that each year, over 800,000 people lose their lives to suicide. To put this in perspective, this is more than the total deaths resulting from other violent acts such as homicide, war and terrorism combined.
