Suicide patterns and rates differ in various populations and culture. It is observed from various studies that more than 90 percent of suicides are due to mental disorders. This behaviour, although often triggered by external factors, occurs in vulnerable individuals who have a neurobiological and often familial predisposition. Here, a case is reported wherein an apparently healthy married addicted male committed suicide by taking unprescribed twenty tablets of phenobarbital (60 mg) under suspicious condition.
