[PMID: 38754457 DOI: 10.1016/s2215-0366(24)00105-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Interest in preventing suicides has increased greatly in recent years. In this Personal View, we consider the general global developments related to suicide prevention that have occurred in the decade since The Lancet Psychiatry was first published in 2014. We then review specific advances during this period, first, in relation to public health initiatives, and second, with regard to clinical developments. Finally, we examine some of the challenges that currently confront individuals and organisations responsible for designing and implementing suicide prevention measures.

Abstract
One of the aims of our paper "The Paradox of Suicide Prevention" is to promote greater discourse on suicide prevention, with a particular focus on the mental health models used for the identification of, and interventions with, individuals who come into contact with tertiary mental health services [...].

Abstract
In "The Paradox of Suicide Prevention", Turner and colleagues made an important contribution: they applied Rose's prevention paradox to suicide prevention efforts in healthcare systems. However, in doing so, they conflated prevention and treatment and did not distinguish suicide from suicidality. Their views may confuse efforts to design and implement clinical pathways for preventing suicide.
