Framed within a review-based design, this study synthesises existing theoretical explanations of suicidality. It offers economic, sociological, and psychological perspectives on suicidality. The conclusion is that sociological theories of suicide focus on the significance of the social environment, social relationships, and other socio-economic and cultural factors in the aetiology of suicide, providing an understanding from the viewpoint of social interaction. The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behaviour suggests that an individual will not die by suicide unless they have both the desire to do so and the ability to carry it out. For attempting suicide, feelings of burdensomeness and low belongingness alone are insufficient; instead, one must be capable of attempting it, meaning the ability to acquire lethal self-injury. Economic problems or insatiability are key factors contributing to an increase in suicide rates, with economic instability according to Durkheim encompassing both economic booms and recessions.
