Depression and suicidal ideation/attempt/death are major causes of morbidity and mortality from psychiatric illnesses. In 2009, the World Health Organization listed depression as the leading cause of years lost due to disability worldwide. Suicide is the 9th most common cause of death in Canada with 1.6% of Canadians ultimately dying from suicide (Statistics Canada, 2012) and the 2nd most common cause of death in young people after accidental deaths. This information highlights the importance of finding treatments to prevent suicidal deaths.
