Abstract
Objetivo. Presentar una panorámica epidemiológica del suicidio consumado, de tendencia y actual, así como de la conducta suicida en el país. Material y métodos. Revisión de la mortalidad por suicidio de 1970 hasta 2007, y análisis sobre la conducta suicida por medio de encuestas transversales. Resultados. De 1970 a 2007 el suicido ha crecido 275%. Actualmente el suicidio se incrementa en el grupo de 15-29 años de edad. La prevalencia de por vida de ideación suicida en adultos de 18 a 29 años fue de 9.7% y 3.8% reportaron intento de suicidio. Entre los habitantes de la República mexicana, 6 601 210 tuvieron ideación suicida en los últimos 12 meses, 593 600 personas intentaron suicidarse y 99 731 utilizaron servicios médicos como consecuencia de un intento de suicidio. Conclusión. Es urgente tomar medidas que canalicen casos de ideación al tratamiento y que pacientes con trastornos mentales sean objeto de una evaluación cuidadosa sobre su riesgo suicida.

National data registries on mortality from the year 1970 to 2007 and cross-sectional surveys were used to analyze suicide mortality and suicidal behavior. Results. The suicide rate grew 275% from 1970 to 2007. Suicide has been increasing among Mexicans 15-29 years old since 1970. In adults aged 18-29 years the lifetime prevalence of ideation was 9.7%, and attempt 3.8%. About 6,601,210 Mexicans had suicidal thoughts, 593,600 attempted suicide and 99,731 used some sort of medical service as a direct consequence of the latter in the year prior to the survey. Conclusions. Suicide and suicide-related behaviors are significant public health problems and, as such, actions are urgently required to identify and treat persons with suicidal thoughts, assess suicidal risk in patients with psychiatric disorders and implement population interventions.
