Special Review : Suicide Among Young Persons

A Review of Its Incidence and Causes, and Methods for Its Prevention

Harris C. Faigel

USAF Hospital Andrews, Andrews Air Force Base, Washington, D. C. 20331

Suicide now outranks pneumonia, polio, tuberculosis, diabetes, rheumatic fever, kidney disease, appendicitis and leukemia as a cause of death in teenagers. Only accidents and cancer are more common lethal problems. On college campuses today, suicide is second only to accidents as a cause of death. This report at tempts to examine the reasons behind a young person's urge toward self-destruction.
