Question

Explanation:

Mental health disorders (like depression, anxiety) are well - known risk factors for suicide as they can impair a person's mental state and decision - making. Substance abuse often co - occurs with mental health issues and can lead to impulsive or desperate behavior, increasing suicide risk. Side effects from medications, especially if they affect mood or mental state, can contribute. Having a relative who is suicidal can be a risk factor due to genetic or environmental influences (e.g., exposure to suicidal behavior as a model). Experiencing a minor change in life is not a significant risk factor; major life stressors or changes are more associated.
