The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between legal status and guardedness in patients who attempted suicide in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The consultation-liaison team assessed 355 patients admitted for suicidal/self-injurious behavior, recording their guardedness before knowing whether they were legally charged. Patients who were legally charged for the suicidal act (n = 139) were 1.6 times (p = .03) more guarded in volunteering information than patients who were not legally charged. Legally charging suicide attempters might have a negative impact on risk assessment and psychiatric care.

Language becomes the vulnerable person's first offensive weapon, one that will spark a debate, show shortcomings, and compel others to take sides. It is a fundamental medium for engagement and communication. It not only represents and interprets facts and observations, but it also has an impact on people's views and actions because it is an integral aspect of society's cultural conditions. As a result, the current research will concentrate on the language and linguistics aspects of notable Indian writer Meena Kandasamy and her well-known works such as Touch (2006), Ms. Militancy (2010), The Gypsy Goddess (2014) and When I Hit You (2017). The study's findings reveal that Kandasamy's work transcends the boundaries of postcolonial mobility and diversity by demonstrating the material and the subject matter's resolute tenacity, authenticity, and rawness.
