The prevalence of elder abuse and suicide in the geriatric population has increased worldwide, making it a major global public health issue. This narrative review aims to map the existing literature on psychosocial correlates of elder abuse and suicide. It attempts to develop a conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between psychosocial correlates of elder abuse and suicide, to understand gaps, and to shed light on the areas for future research. Findings of this review emphasize the need to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions that address the complex interplay of factors contributing to both elder abuse and suicidal behavior.
