Remove mention of nihilism

Nihilism is a philosophical concept and is inappropriate to be listed as a risk factor for suicide. People who are nihilist do not necessarily have a greater risk factor for suicide. Cateydotnet (talk) 04:00, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm not currently able to review them, but that sentence is cited to three different sources. Presuming that all three specifically reference nihilism, are you saying they're wrong? Can you provide another source that disputes it? DonIago (talk) 06:24, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Change the line "Suicide the 10th leading..." to "Suicide is the 10th leading..." in the first line of the third paragraph. Uninterruptedshowersupply (talk) 16:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Done, thanks. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 20:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Autism presented as mental illness?

Hi, two relevant sentences on suicide risk in the autistic population are included under the mental illness subheading. Unless this can be linked to mental illness definitively and in a way that does not represent autism as being a mental illness itself, should it be under a different (or its own) subheading? Or should things be reordered to provide a subheading for neurodevelopmental conditions generally? Micahtchi (talk) 00:33, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I've split it off but I understand that this may not be the best solution. I've linked to https://en.wikipedia.org/Autism#Self-injury_and_suicide as the main article. Micahtchi (talk) 00:51, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Updated data

Should the data be updated from 2016? RuduskaMuduska (talk) 23:11, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Health problems can also be a reason for suicide. Can you add that. 85.76.129.239 (talk) 15:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 21:44, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
