Abstract
Adolescents in India form a major proportion of the population. This age group encounters many stressful
events which are more specific to this age group like need to perform in exams, compete for various professional
courses, broken love affairs etc. Besides this is the age group for onset of major psychiatric disorders. All these
factors make this population very vulnerable to suicidal behaviours. However, there is limited data with regard
to suicidal behaviour in this population from India. There is an urgent need to study the various factors associated
with suicidal behaviour and how suicidal behaviour can be prevented in this age group.
