BACKGROUND
India is experiencing increasing suicides that have much economic impact.
OBJECTIVE
To calculate the short-term costs of suicide in India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
All the official data of suicides in India in 2014 formed the base of computation. Both direct and indirect costs were computed basing on market rates and official estimates. Perceived gains were deducted to arrive at the total cost.
RESULTS
The contribution of middle age group in the loss was high. Each suicide costs 2.65 L and the total cost of suicide in 2014 amounts to 348842.65 L in the first year.
CONCLUSION
Much suffering and burden on individuals, family, and society can be reduced if adequate treatment facilities for psychiatry patients are made available at affordable rates everywhere. This should be complemented by much needed public education.
背景
印度自杀率不断上升，造成了巨大的经济影响。
目的
计算印度自杀的短期成本。
材料与方法
以2014年印度自杀的所有官方数据作为计算基础。直接成本和间接成本均根据市场价格和官方估计进行计算。扣除感知收益后得出总成本。
结果
中年人群体在损失中所占比例较高。每起自杀造成的损失为26.5万卢比，2014年自杀的总成本在第一年达到348842.65万卢比。
结论
如果各地都能以可承受的价格提供足够的精神科患者治疗设施，个人、家庭和社会所遭受的痛苦和负担将会大大减轻。这还应辅以急需的公众教育。
