TEENAGE SUICIDE2
Introduction
The number to teenage and adolescent suicide cases is increasing across the world. The
physiological, psychological and social determinants are associated with the suicidal tendencies.
The adolescent or teenage group indicates the population within the age group of 10 to 19 years
(Moreno, 2016). In teenage population of Malaysia death form suicide is going to be the major
cause of death within next 10 to 15 years (Abdul Aziz et al., 2019). The depression driven
suicide attempt is also becoming a common factor in Malaysia. Therefore, critical analysis of
biological, psychological and social determinants is required to identify the major drivers while
aiming at reducing the number of teenage suicide cases (Bratsis, 2014).
The aim of this study is to conduct a semi-systematic literature review with the help of
scholarly articles and peer reviewed articles in order to find the underlying factors behind the
teenage suicide while finding the preventive measures against this trend. In the following section
the data from included literature has been extracted through template and after that a qualitative
analysis has been conducted to analyse the major findings found in the data extraction phase.
Followed by the analysis and finding the discussion and implications have been made in
accordance with the analytical explorations
