PREVENTION OF SUICIDE AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS

Resume

The phenomenon of suicide begins along with the history od humanity. The suicide in a sense of selfdestruction is a very complex phenomenon with no concrete couse or motive, it is a result of many different cicumstances. This act is caused by diverse factors, such as: external and internal ones, i.e. social, biological and psychological factors and characteristics. Many philosophers, theoogists, psychologists and other scientists tried to understand it, but, it is still an enormous secret, full od mystic and for many people it is ununderstandable, opposite to that great existential force that lives in a human being.

This is the reason why all of us have to fight the suicide, i.e. to prevent it in a way of a socially organized fight.

Key words: suicide, religion, depression, prevention
