Quotes & Comments on World Suicide Prevention Day 2025

“Every year, more than 720,000 people die by suicide worldwide—making it the third leading cause of death among 15- to 29-year-olds. Nearly three-quarters of these tragedies occur in low- and middle-income countries like India. In 2022 alone, India lost 171,000 lives to suicide, with almost half of the youth suicides linked to relationship and family stress. These aren’t just numbers—they are reminders that mental distress often builds silently before it reaches a breaking point. Regularly assessing our stress levels and seeking timely help can prevent disaster before it happens. Suicide prevention begins not at the moment of crisis, but much earlier—with awareness, conversation, and intervention.”
