Abstract

Suicide behavior has major implications on the collective mentality, being a serious public health threat. The main argument of this paper is that of bringing to light the aggressive presence of this phenomenon in our lives, since the total number of suicides in the last five years was worryingly high (N = 12800). A comparative analysis based on the criteria of gender and season has highlighted significant differences between the sub-lots that were under scrutiny and led to proposals for a careful examination of the particularities of the two mediating variables (gender and season), taking into account the fact that this difference is maintained over time.
