Abstract
Overall, the studies provide satisfactory information about the burden of suicide in Nepal. Some of the limitations include discrepancy in suicide reporting, lack of longitudinal follow up and qualitative studies and absence of studies on preventive aspects. Further, more research is warranted in this area not only at the assessment level but also at an intervention level. Several challenges such as poor distribution of mental health resources, social attitude towards mental illness and suicide in particular need to be addressed.
