“…In another study, focused on a cohort from 1980 to 2000, Mello-Santos et al ( 2005 ) found that the greatest increase in suicide rates was in the 15–24 age range (190%). Furthermore, Souza et al ( 2002 ) demonstrated the distribution of suicide mortality among young people (15–24 years old) across 11 Brazilian state capitals. All cities analyzed exhibited increased suicide mortality (average increase of all 11 cities.35 to.50 per 10,000 inhabitants, 1979–1998).…”

This study was intended to analyze the intersection of experience of sexual stigma low-socioeconomic status, and suicide attempt amongst young Brazilians (11–24 years old). In each of the data collection periods (2004–2006: n = 7185; 2010–2012: n = 2734), participants completed a questionnaire-based instrument. Network analysis provided support for a Minority Stress Model, oriented around whether participants had experienced sexual stigma. Although suicide attempts decreased by 20% for participants who had not experienced sexual stigma, there was a 60% increase for those who had experienced sexual stigma. Of particular note were the increases in rates of reported community and familial physical assault, molestation, and rape for those who had experienced sexual stigma. An analysis of centrality statistics demonstrated that both experiences of this Minority Stress Model were fundamentally different, and that those disparities increased over the time frame observed in this study. At the center of this model, shortest paths statistics exhibited a direct conditioned connection between experiencing sexual stigma and suicide attempts. We discuss the social and historical contexts that contributed to these dynamics, and emphasize the need for policy change.

“…The difference in gender also reflects the lethality of the methods chosen. Women opt for poisoning or overdose, whereas men look to violent and more lethal methods, such as hanging and the use of firearms (Teixeira & Villar Luis, 1997) – the two most common methods in Brazil (Souza et al , 2002; Grossi & Vassan, 2002). In Brazil, two important suicide methods, mainly used by women, should be mentioned: the use of methyl alcohol for self-immolation (Marchesan et al , 1997; Souza et al , 1998) and the ingestion of carbamate (a rat poison) (Lima & Reis, 1995).…”

“…Recent data indicate that Brazilian youths are dying more from violent causes than from biological ones. In nine Brazilian capitals surveyed, Souza et al (2002) noted a 27.6% increase between 1979 and 1998 in deaths due to external causes among individuals aged 15–24 years. Suicide was ranked sixth among the external causes.…”

“…The analysis of the young people who have died by suicide reveals a population in crisis. The common characteristics are being male, single and a non-specialised worker with low educational attainment (Souza et al , 2002). These factors, together with the highly competitive market economy, limited employment opportunities and low governmental incentives, further combined with professional and economic instability, make the young population vulnerable.…”

Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America (in 2002 the population was approximately 175 million). Although life expectancy in Brazil has increased, suicide and other forms of injury-related mortality, such as homicide and accident, have increased as a proportion of overall mortality (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, 1984; Brazil Ministry of Health, 2001). The suicide rate in Brazil (3.0–4.0 per 100 000 inhabitants) is not considered high in global terms (World Health Organization, 1999). Nevertheless, it has followed the world tendency towards growth: during 1980–2000, the suicide rate in Brazil increased by 21%. Elderly people present the highest suicide rates in absolute numbers, but the alarming finding in the Brazilian data is that the youth population is increasingly dying by suicide (Mello-Santos et al, 2005). This statistic partially confirms a forecast by Diekstra & Guilbinat (1993) that the number of deaths by suicide would dramatically increase over the next decades, mainly in developing countries, including Latin America. In these regions, socio-economic factors (such as an increase in divorce and unemployment and a decrease in religiosity) increase the risk of self-harm. We discuss the reasons for the low suicide rate in Brazil and highlight the socio-economic factors affecting its increase among the youth population in particular.

Considering the high index of research in mental health, psychiatrist and psychologist, this study is based on a survey carried out with the number of referrals in mental health in 2018, in the Guaíra city, in the State of Paraná. Trying to discuss the life complexity of the person who seeks this service from a subjective point of view, and as a perspective to treat the dynamics of this person who is affected by mental behavior, deconstructing the traditional biomedical model based on the disease. It is understood that the person must be considered in his/her uniqueness, however the environment in which he/she lives, his/her Family, social and affective relationships have a significant impact on his/her life and are constructed throughout his/her development process, in a practical and singular. Through a quantitative field research, it was obtained as a result, it was found that the total mean age of the sample was 30.5 (SD= 20.3) males and 37.7 (SD= 18.2) females. Representing 71.5% females and 28.4% males, which indicates the highest referral rates for these specialties in adult women (31 – 40 years) and in men the largest number is in Young people and adolescents (11- 20 years). There was also a significant number of Young women and adolescents (17.4%), the second highest referral rate. According to the authors who deals with this subject matter and this survey, women are more prone to depression and anxiety, and mental impairment may be linked to a traumatic situation in its childhood, such as violence and education, extending into adult life through frustrations.
