Abstract
Every year more than 800 000 people take their own life and there are many more people who attempt suicide globally. In India on an average, more than one lakh persons commit suicide every year during the decadal period from 2004 to 2014 as per national crime record bureau report. The incidence of suicides in India increased from 15.8% from 2004 to 2014. Suicide is a tragedy affecting not only to kins of victim but also the entire community. As per WHO it was the second leading cause of death among 15–29 year-olds globally in 20121 . As per WHO 75% of global suicides occurred in low- and middle-income countries in 20122 . Suicide is not only a crime but it is a serious health problem which is easily preventable. There is a close and scientifically proved link between suicide and psychological disorders (in particular, depression and alcohol use disorders). A chance of suicidal attempts increases in people lacking the capacity to deal with chronic stressors like illness, financial instability, family problems etc. There are a number of measures that can be taken to prevent suicides at individual as well as community level. Measures to increase quality of life and to prevent individual from any kind of stress should be adopted to prevent suicides. A detailed analysis of reasons of increasing incidences of suicides has been done in this study. A detailed regimen has been made to increase the quality of life and to manage the stress with the help of ayurveda and yoga. This regimen including satvajay and devavyapshray chikitsa along with yogasanas, dhyan, yam, niyam and pranayama provides a new cost effective, harmless and acceptable solution to prevent and manage stress, the root cause of suicides. A detailed review of ayurvedic and yogic regimen to prevent suicides by removing stress has been done in this study.
