Abstract
As a result of the strong link between mental illness and suicide, the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders have been always considered a first-choice strategy in the prevention of suicide. However, prevention may take advantage from the study of other factors that may help to explain inequalities in the suicide rates between countries and fluctuations over time. The aim of the present chapter is to review empirical research which has investigated the impact of economic crises and recession on suicide. To this goal we performed careful MedLine and PsycINFO searches from 1980 to 2010. Our analysis of the literature indicates that there is no strong evidence that a recession in the economy is a causal factor for suicide.
