Suicide is an outcome of complex interaction among multiple factors, including era, age, personality characteristics, and psychiatric morbidity, as well as the sociocultural and political environment. Suicide after an immediate adverse life event has been frequently documented in Bangladesh, and previous research has found that life events are risk factors for suicidal behavior. In this chapter, we discuss the phenomenological explanations of suicide attempts after an immediate adverse life event in Bangladesh. We present some examples of life event–driven suicide attempts and speculate on possible explanations based on the sociocultural factors in Bangladesh. We explain the attempts based on protest suicide, perception of being defeated or trapped, suicide as a bargaining tool, and suicide attempt that is impulsive.
