The 2K Run was held to create awareness that ‘suicide is a preventable psychiatric health issue’ by the members of Psychiatric Society. And yet it is a major issue in India leading to over 1,35,000 deaths with an inclining number in south India.
Psychiatrists said, “Suicide has become very common with troubled students, distressed women, frustrated youth and drug addicts, it usually happens in a sense of hopelessness. Major cause is depression, which is very much treatable.” There exists a ‘bio-psycho-social module for its cause. It is highly needed to spread awareness about prevention of suicide.
