Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While suicide attempts can be connected to psychological disorders, not all suicides are related to mental health issues. It is also not accurate to say that suicidal thinking always involves a loss of contact with reality. However, it is widely acknowledged that suicide attempts often occur in response to highly stressful life events, such as a breakup, financial problems, or a significant loss. People who fail on a first suicide attempt are at an increased risk for future attempts, making choice A incorrect.
