Abstract

On the basis of a specially developed statistical matrix, which includes more than 50 parameters, 179 conclusions of post-mortem complex forensic psychiatric-psychological expertises carried out in various regions of Russia were analyzed. Typical psychological and psychopathological factors in genesis of suicidal behavior of children and adolescents were identified. The article describes the main psychic disorders diagnosed in minors, among which a high percentage of psychogenic states is noteworthy. Special attention is paid to suicidal statements and attempts, addictive behavior in the pre-suicidal period, adolescents’ means of communication (social networks). The extremely low frequency of requests for specialized assistance to specialists (psychiatrists, psychologists) was noted. It indicates the increased need for psychoeducational measures among the general population. The prospects of interdisciplinary research, which can reveal more differentiated characteristics of suicidal behavior in minors, are outlined.
