Suicide (from Latin sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the act of willfully ending one's own life. Suicide is sometimes used as a noun for one who has committed or attempted the act.
The terminology and its implications
Suicide can be stigmatized or honored, depending on cultural context and its apparent reasons. Those experiencing suicidal ideation, or thoughts about fatally harming one's self, may struggle to be heard and understood, or might be people who willfully ignore others. The person feeling suicidal may often be made to feel rejected and guilty by those they have confided their thoughts and feelings to - sometimes even by mental health professionals - accusing them of trying to hurt the feelings of the friends or family they just confided to, or of making suicide 'threats', or they might indeed be attempting to manipulate others. This can lead to situations wherein relatives and friends of a person who committed suicide without telling anyone then proceed to question why the person never told them. Suicidal ideation may result from the experience of emotional pain outweighing the individual's coping strategies and resources for dealing with that pain or from an individual's unwillingness to impose self-discipline and care about others more than him or herself.
