From the scientific point of view, this complex problem of self-destructive behaviour involves biological, psychological and sociological perspectives. Classification and stratification of suicidal behaviour is highly important in identifying high risk groups and offering better rehabilitation to suicidal patients. This review explores the neurobiological, epigenetic and endophenotypic approaches of suicide. Gender difference in suicidal behaviour is an important area of research. An attempt has been made to identify peripheral biological predictors of suicide. Findings of gene expression studies occupy special importance in this review article. Finally, the latest developments in the management of suicidal behaviour have been summarised. Public health strategies to prevent suicide have also been mentioned.
