Les raisons d'un comportement suicidaire peuvent fortement diverger d'un individu à l'autre. Il peut être question d'une véritable volonté de mourir, d'un sentiment ou une conviction de ne plus (vouloir) pouvoir affronter la vie, d'un besoin d'échapper à une situation perçue comme insupportable pour la personne ou du fait d'arrêter de penser. Parfois, le comportement suicidaire est l'expression du besoin de rendre quelque chose clair pour les autres. Le comportement suicidaire peut aussi survenir impulsivement et sans grande réflexion préalable. 2, record 1, French, - comportement%20suicidaire
