Suicidal Poisoning in India

Panchal Hitanshu


Abstract: Suicidal poisoning is a major public health problem in India among adults and, especially among the youth and rural communities. The study reviewed 3996 medico - legal autopsies, revealing that organophosphates accounted for 48.7% of poisoning cases, with a significant prevalence in agricultural settings. The ease of access compounds the problem since these are readily available on farm-land. While the statistics are alarming, it is also pertinent to put a counterpart emphasis on mental health services and community support networks to look at the underlying issues leading to such tragedies. The most common poisoning agents have to be pinpoint-ed and then used to plan targeted interventions to improve public health outcomes in India. Many research studies suggest that the following are the key findings: Common Toxicants toxic agents vary by region and the areas with the highest rates of exposure dif-fer from one to another. Easy access to the substances is very much part of this larger issue, especially with agriculture. Identifying the most common toxicants associated with poisoning events helps clarify the best way to prevent them and improve health infor-mation for the public. Population Patterns: While the statistics are hair - raising, others feel that more effort should also be placed into mental health interventions and community support networks to confront the root causes behind these senseless acts.
